I had 2 PET/CT scans following treatment. The first one after 2 month the second after 6 month. Both were ordered by the RO, the oral surgeon was somewhat surprised that I had a the second one so soon. He too favors a more hands on approach, which IF the lesion is visible is a lot more sensitive than a PET scan.
