Another update - I got the results of the PET scan. The only spot that lit up was my left submandibular gland. Horay! I told my husband that was the best bad news I could have gotten. I meet with the surgeon on Tuesday to discuss upcoming surgery/radiation plans.

I think my biggest fear at this point is catching the flu and having to postpone surgery. I just found out yesterday that three people I work pretty closely with are out with H1N1. My husband was sick earlier this week with some other flu strain. I'm trying hard to wash my hands a lot, but it's still a big concern.
