For those of you who have had reoccurances of BOT cancer, how did you discover it had returned. Did you have symptoms, if so what were they, or was it just picked up by follow up scans.
Also, how often were you checked by the specialists, head and neck surgeons, RO, MO, and what was your follow-up?
I'm just trying to stay on top of everything for my husband's recovery and make sure he's getting what he should for follow up and what symptoms to watch for.
Thank you
