they have scaned me for cancer elsewhere and i am all clear all i have is some small nodules in my lungs which they say are a result of my radiation for my throat cancer , so at present it is a mystery ,the problem is they can not get to the tumor as it is tucked behind my heart ,so surgery is a no no at present ,so at present it is wait and see what they suggest next , cheers Allan
