we went into the PET scan with optimism...
we left today with " a hot spot" on what appears the muscle where the tumor was by his jaw
and two spots on his lungs that weren't there before.

his first PET scan had some concern for nodes under his R arm but those aren't there

how in the world do things show up in the lungs at 4 months out from chemo and rads...

plan is for a biopsy with the onc ENT and review with thoracic surgeons and wait for radiology read from the PET...
possible biopsy or excision

in shock..... tears. so damn #$%^&* disappointed, devastated .....

guidance on a direction?/ we are at a CCC... Dartmouth.
thank you
