Eshwar, Thanks.

I'm not entirely clear why a PET/CT wasn't ordered and only a CT, possibly due to my small tumor size initially(0.35mm) and due to cost concerns...

My CT results are back, but my surgeon is out of the country and I'm meeting him next Tuesday(Oct 2)....

2 things of concern for me:
1. The largest lymph nodes they've noted are 13 x 5 mm and 10 x 6 mm. The report also notes similar smaller lymph nodes(peri/sub cm).

2. A 2.5 mm lung nodule.

Here's the report synopsis:
1. STATUS POST PARTIAL RIGHT GLOSSECTOMY. NO DISCRETE MASS OR SOFT TISSUE FULLNESS IS APPRECIATED IN THE RIGHT TONGUE OR RIGHT FLOOR OF THE MOUTH.

2. SUBCENTIMETER LYMPH NODES IN THE NECK AT LEVELS 1B AND 2.

3. 2.5 MM NODULE AT THE RIGHT LUNG APEX. RECOMMEND A DEDICATED CT CHEST FOR COMPLETE EVALUATION OF THE THORAX.

I'm going to keep calm till my surgeon returns(he basically sent an EMR message from Argentina where he is right now) saying it's unlikely to be mets and that he hasn't seen the slides, only the report.

Anyway, fingers crossed and hoping for the best...
