Well, the biopsy was done of the area where the cancer had originally been removed and diagnoses was "largley necrotic squamous cell carcinoma". The surgeon and radiolgist cannot agree as to wether this is "dying cancer" or "same cancer" that survived radiation. So they ordered a PETscan for I do not know what. What does this mean? Do you know? They just both seem to be dumbfounded.
