I had my pet/ct scan, first one after surgery and radiation, and they found positive areas in my jaw, soft pallet and tongue. They also found a 1 mm nodule in my right lung. They said they will just keep an eye on the lung, but they are going to look and feel the areas that showed up positive. If they find any abonormal areas, they will biopsy. Otherwise they will just biopsy my jaw.

Hopefully biopsy comes back negative.

Biopsy is on november 9th at 8 am.

Wish me luck and lets hope for negative biopsy results!!
