I am meeting with the DR July 8! I cannot beleive he is on vacation until then! Here are the key points on my report. Anyone have any thoughts?

1.Centrally necrotic adenopathy in level II of the left neck measures 3.0 x 2.5 cm & shows peripheral rind of hypermetabolism consistent with necrotic metastatic adenopathy. (SUV 12.4)
2. Low level FDG uptake within 1 cm left level V lymph node at base of neck consistent with metestatic disease, with several additional clusters of smaller nodes nearby too small to be detected by PET, however suggestive of small volume nodal metastasis.
3. Centrally necrotic partly photon deficient hypermetabolic right level II neck adenopathy measuring 2.0 x 2.0 cm consistent with metastatic disease. (SUV 14.7)
4.Postoperative changes involving left side of tongue base and submandibular gland without evidence of local recurrance.
5. No evidence of metastatic disease below the neck.



Here are a few things not related to my cancer that were found:
1. Pineal gland cyst with peripheral calcifications.
2. A 5 mm low density noted in left lobe of thyroid gland.
3. Trace pocket of fluid is seen in the right hemipelvis.
