I should also mention that this doctor wants to do the PET scan to make sure there isn't cancer elsewhere in his body, not to necessarily check for oral cancer. There was no cancer in the lymphnodes.

Wife, he was diagnosed early 8/11, SCC-floor of mouth. Surgery 9/6/11, removal of cancer, part of tongue, salivary gland and lymphnodes, skin and vessels from arm to reconstruct, graft from leg to repair arm. T3N0. Radiation to start 10/11.
