I was hoping it wasnt a recurrence so soon after you just finished treatments. I would have questioned the CT scan as well. Didnt you just have one recently? Guess it doesnt really matter now, whats done is done.
Dont be surprised if your option is surgery as you just finished rads. Chemo used by itself is only used for palliative care.
Good luck with everything and please keep us posted.
