What is the standard menu for surviellance after treatment. My "team" has me being seen every 4 months for an oral inspection and head and neck CT. I finished treatment in July, was seen 11/18/09 and told I was cancer free. on 11/22/09 I noticed a white spot on my tongue, had it biopsied and it is invasive cancer.
