Joined: Dec 2016 Posts: 46 | Hello my name is Ed. Dx BOT stage 4 in July. I finished treatment mid October. 8 wks EBT & Chemo 1x wk.
After treatment my Dr read the CT and said he had wished he was going to tell me " I'll see you in three months" but he is still seeing tissue in the neck and under the jaw. Says there is a 60% chance it's only scar tissue. PET Scan set for mid January.
Never posted on ANY board in my life so I am a little nervous about screwing up. Just going a little nuts after hanging in Limbo for the last 2.5 months. Not looking forward to the next option (surgery) if the PET Scan comes back pos.
