I saw the 3rd ENT just to see what her opinion is. Thank goodness my neighbor drove me there (Simi Valley, about 30 miles from my home in Santa Clarita) She said that she thinks the neck dissection is not necessary (she had all my lab reports from biopsy and hospital surgery) and doctors' notes. What she proposes is to follow up with an exam every 2 months for one year and before first exam in December, to have another PET scan. Then years two and three, exam me every 3 to 4 months. However, I am very anxious to see the oncologist next week......but it made me feel better as 2nd ENT doctor said if I had the neck dissection and remove the lymph nodes. I had an 80% chance of survival and a very small chance if I did not do it. I felt very discouraged and felt like he was a salesman trying to sell me a car. Bad vibes.
