Charm, Well I kind of feel like this is my second bout with cancer since the ENT told me after my partial glossectomy that he had gotten it all and there were clear margins. A month later it's in my lymph nodes. They are going to radiate both sides of my neck since the original tumor was in the middle of my mouth and they just did a right neck dissection. Hoping it doesn't go to my left side next. I'm just amazed at seeing clear pet scan, then recurrence. I don't get how in this day and age they can't get it all in one shot. Cancer is a BEAST.
