Thank you everyone for responding and sharing with me. I really appreciate it! I do have a question and need some guidance... Since 2001 when I had my first cancer removal, I have never had a CT scan of my head/neck. The doctors have never done this (as I understand it) because my tongue cancer was only 2 millimeters deep so it is considered non-invasive. I keep feeling like I should have this done, but maybe I am just being paranoid. Is this something I should ask the doctor to do? I am concerned simply because I have had 2 cancer removals and an ongoing lesion. Thanks for your input!
