15 months post Tx. Typically I do the scan and get the results the same day. This time there was a three week lag due to my oncologist's availability. And, back in November I had another round of throat stretching... supposed to be routine maintenance, get me ready for optimum eating capacity for Thanksgiving - but they found a 'growth' in my throat and did a biopsy. It ended up being non-cancerous and was also deemed to not be pre-cancerous, but gave me pause nonetheless. So I stressed these results more than the previous ones...
