We do have an appt. this Friday with one of the surgeons. That is definitely top on the list of questions we have for him. I just find it surprising that after my husband has seen 6+ doctors involving his surgery, hospital stay and recovery now is the first time a PET scan has been mentioned.


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.
