Guest guest Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 OK, talk about a whirlwind. The original surgeon sticks the camera down my nose through my sinuses into the nasopharynx and says that he sees a cyst regrowth (crusty he says). Wants to schedule surgery. I go to USC and see an ENT surgeon there, and he does the same thing, this time with the video screen where the tech and I and my mother-in- law can see, and there appears to be NO cyst regrowth. Just white skin where the old cyst was.... he did say that the symptoms appear to indicate that I may have a bad infection trapped in a closed off area of my sinuses/facial (so not where a normal sinus infection is, so that it drains into your throat, but in a cavity which isn't good because it can " eat " away at your bone). So I am on antibiotics and will get a catscan. But treatable, and certainly not needing surgery! I can't believe what this first surgeon saw that made him think it was a regrowth, and had us worried for a week. BUt either way, halleluiah!
