My husband had a CT scan after his neck dissection in april. Then they have been looking through the scope. Docs have adviced us that they will keep doing this way evry six weeks.
I was worried too as the CT scan is far ahead than being checked out by scope.
I guess then the Doctors know what they are doing.
