Hi, as you can see i havent been here for some time. everything was looking good and the doctors all told my mom that it looked like they had gotton everything from the chemo and radiation so they didnt need to do the neck dissection. well, yesterday she got a call with results from the four month followup pet scan and the doctor says there is something that looks suspicious. omg here we go again. so any ideas from anyone? they have to do some more tests but would like to schedule surgery asap for the dissection. she is worried about getting back to work. (h yeah a side note, from the radiation treatment, her esophugas(?) had shrunk up to the size of a pin hole, so we have gone in and had about 6 dialations in the past two months and now it is the size of a nickel and she is starting to be able to eat some soft foods but still has the feeding tube.)has anyone out there,or know anyone who has had a set back this quick? is this something that sounds really bad? she is just getting somewhat back to normal and now we dont know what is going to happen. thanks all jamie
