Thanks for the responses. I'm definitely hoping my journey is more like KitKat's. I'm trying to remain optimistic. However, one of the ENT's that I'm seeing (2 partners in the same practice) has mentioned possible radiation so I'm afraid that I may be headed down Denise's path. That scares me after reading other's radiation experiences on here. Obviously at 44 I'm not retired so I'm trying to maintain a full-time job through all this that can sometimes be stressful. I also have 2 small children (1 and 5) who are too young to understand what's going on and certainly won't understand what daddy's going through if I experience the side effects from radiation that I've read others on here talking about. So needless to say I'm quite apprehensive about all this!!! I'm ready to go ahead and get the PET scan done and see how we're going to proceed. Yes, Christine, please direct me to the CCC list. Thanks all!!
