Hi All, I'm three weeks out of treatment and my rad oncologist said I cant get a PET scan done until three months post treatment. But he also tells me to go see my ENT surgeon. I don�t understand the point of doing that if he has no films to look at yet. I know he can feel for the tumor, which has all but disappeared, but can he determine if surgery is needed without seeing a PET scan? I wouldn�t mind so much if it wasn�t so difficult to get to him. I live in central Jersey and he is in Manhattan, NY. I was referred to him by a doctor in Jersey who said he�s one of the best in the country for this type of surgery. It doesn�t pay to drive into Manhattan, and the other alternative is two trains and a walk of a few blocks. (Which I don�t know if I�m up to at this time). I�m even thinking of getting a different ENT that�s closer to me. So is it really necessary to see my ENT Surgeon at this point, or should I wait until I have the PET scan done?
