I am confused after the meeting with the radiation oncologist the first week of treatment. She showed us the scans where they would be targeting radiation and kept referring to the tumor. After my husband left the room I questioned why she was saying tumor when the biopsies showed they got all the cancer after surgery in November. She proceeded to look up his records but had trouble accesssing them and acted like she and the resident in the room must of both been mistaken. NOW, I am wondering if a tumor would show up on a CT scan which I didn't think was possible. I had pushed for any type of test so we would know if the cancer had spread so they would have a baseline to know how effective the radiation and chemo is down the road and of coarse they said no that his cancer would be detected only visuallly on a monthy basis. When my husband had his neck dissection I had to push for that monthly check which was overdue and it looked like the cancer was back. They did take a biopsy during his neck dissection which came back negative, being scar tissue. I wanted to cry when I found out they just did one bioposy. The other doctor had said they would biopsy all around the vocal cords. I just want some re-assurance it has not been going wild since Nov. Now I am wondering if there is a tumor which could of changed our decision for radiation and chemo. Even if it meant removing the vocal box to keep from spreading. Sorry for so long but I just need to know if they could of found anything when planning for radiation.
