Hi. I posted the other day, but I didn't have much information at the time. Sorry about that. My dad has BOT cancer which spread to lymph nodes in his neck. He didn't have surgery. He had radiation and
Erbitux. Treatments ended in February. His first PET scan was clear. We got the results of his 2nd PET scan last week and they said they see some activity in his neck. We see the radiation dr and ENT tomorrow. I would like to know what we can expect. Do you think they'll give us any information at all or are they going to schedule a biopsy and we won't know anymore than we do today? From what I've read, PET scans are good at finding cancer in the lymph nodes. If they say it's cancer in the lymph nodes, how will they treat it? Will that have to be a neck disection? I don't think he can have radiation again because he already had it on both sides of his neck.
Sorry, I know I probably sound frazzled, that's because I am and I've been this way for a week. I read all the posts on here and some of them make me feel better thinking it could be a false positive, then others scare me to death.
I would really appreciate any answers anyone can give me, even if they scare me. I just want to be prepared tomorrow so I can help my dad cope, if needed. Thank you!
