I remember my ent telling me that he wanted to wait at least 6 months after rad and even longer because he did not want me to go through the false positives pet scans can do. Since then, I am afraid to ask, because I do not want to think I am dying again. I had a horrible bout with depression and he knows it. I think we are both afraid to mention it.
Do you have to get put all the way in a tube or is it more like a ct scan with a donut shape?

Partial mandibulectomy and neck dissection 2/3/07. T2NOMO.
Had 14 hour operation which included reconstruction of jaw.
Reconstruction failed. Some radiation, no chemo.
