After reading my post it looks misleading. By brand new stuff ENT.oncolgist is referring to treatment options. Not bad stuff.

Hi Tom-
So the concern is the one spot (or spots) in mediastinum? No other concerning spots? Hopefully, the limited scope of the mets, combined with HPV status means they are thinking of trying to zap it with radiation.

Keep us posted. We are all learning from each other.

Best,
Mary

Could your ENT oncologist be referring to drug trials?
