I read Cheryl's signature to indicate that she was facing Surgery - not Radiation - on Feb 4th. My ENT surgeon had zero interest in a PETscan, it was only my RO who felt PETscans were helpful in the diagnostic stage for plotting radiation. If you are saying now that a PETscan is inappropriate for Cheryl, then you and I are in full agreement.

Best wishes for the surgery. All of my bluster and posting were intended to be supportive and let you know my opinion that you do not need a PETscan nor worry about not having one, let alone pay for one out of your pocket since you have tongue cancer. My ENT surgeon insisted on an MRI/CT to guide her in the surgery which seems to have done the trick for me.
