My husband will be starting radiation next week. He had surgery Sept. 6th. The radiation doctor, which is a different city than where the surgery was, has recommended a PET scan. Is it normal this close after surgery? Wouldn't the surgeons/specialists have ordered it if they thought it was necessary? My husband doesn't want to do it at this point. I don't know what to do or say. Any advice would be helpful since we are so new to all of this. Thank you!
Wife, he was diagnosed early 8/11, SCC-floor of mouth. Surgery 9/6/11, removal of cancer, part of tongue, salivary gland and lymphnodes, skin and vessels from arm to reconstruct, graft from leg to repair arm. T3N0. Radiation to start 10/11.
