Hey Jim,

I was T2/N0/M0 and like Jerry am also just short of one year. I am seeing my otolaryngologist every 3 months, and he ordered a PET at 6 months (clear! yay!). I don't know if I put too much stock in it or not, but the PET scan let me breathe a huge sigh of relief.

He hasn't said anything about which scans I'll have in the future or how often. I'll make sure to ask at my next visit.

Thanks,
Jennifer
