Hello Friends,

Greetings From Gayatri!!!

A few months ago my father was diagnosed with Ca RT AEfold
Stage : T2 No Mo
Surgeon & Oncologist Doctors was recommended Radiation Therapy for 1 & 1/2 months, he had gone through Radiation for 5960 Doses. While treatment he did smoking once & after finishing also he did thrice. As per doctors he responded very nicely & Oncologist suggested to routine check up every 6 weeks & after completion of three month should do CT Scan. now after 55 days completion of radiation treatment he had a pain & swelling in left side, when we show the surgeon he said its coz of radiation but stiil suggested CT Scan, & we did CT Scan.Now we visited Oncologist for routine check up after 6 weeks, & we show the CT Scan Report also ,he examined & said its perfectly alright there is no any doubts whatever are there its just of Radiation side effects. BUT when we show the report to Surgeon he had got doubt & suggested to do Endoscopy. Again i discussed with Oncologist & he added that we never give advise to do anything before 3 months coz that part become very sensitive due to radiation. Still he discuss with surgeon & requested that do only Endoscopy Not Bio pacy.
Hence My question have arises coz of different opinions of both doctors.

Doctor can we go for Endoscopy in this short of period ? & if so then how can judgment will be so perfect without Biopacy ?

Now i am writing the conclusion of Ct Scan Report as below.

Conclusion :
K/C/O Ca right arryepiglottic fold,Post RT Status.

** A 1.88*0.98 cm size heterogenous moderate enhancing soft tissue area seen in mylohyoid muscle involving the right vallecula epiglottica and right side of epiglottis possibility of residual mass lesion /? Post radiotherapy fibrosis.

** A 0.85*0.78 cm size enlarge necrotic lymphnode in medial aspect of pterygoid muscle on right side at

If anybody have same experience as like me kindly share or advice what to do ?

Thanks & Regards
