Thankyou Christine, that sort of knowledge slips through the cracks with all the other stuff you are getting told from 28 diferent directions! I will ask my Doc and start stretching. I will ask about PET scanning as a little time goes by. I pushed for a second PET after first surgery. They where not going to do one for a few more months but I pushed a bit and that scan found the primary tumor in my tongue!!!
