Thanks Kathy. I often wondered after surgery if I should have done radiation too. The doctor didn't seem to think it would be necessary - so I went with that. I thought my prayers were answered by *not* needing radiation. Next week is my 6 week follow up appointment and last weekend my throat started to feel 'different' ... like there was a lump in my throat. A symptom I had before I was diagnosed. So, now I am worried. frown
I do make sure to get my pap smears done. Last one was June of last year and came back HPV negative. That has been one of my questions, if I have oral HPV...will I most likely get cervical HPV as well?
I'll be praying that your husband's PET comes back clear. Best of luck. and thanks for sharing your situation with me.
