Thanks for all the great post and support! I had a PET scan on Friday and got the results back. NO OTHER HOT SPOTS!! now I can focus on the spot in my neck.I am scheduled for surgery on the 23ard for the removal of the tumor and flap reconstruction.They said the operation could last six to eight hours,but that is OK I will be asleep. They said depending on the path report after surgery as to how long and how much rad./chemo I will have to endure again. I dread that more than the surgery. It really whipped me before. Lost sixty lbs,but whatever it takes to beat the beast I am up for it. I have a great support system. Wife is a nurse,that helps and I work at Duke Med. Center. I have two wonderful daughters that I love and adore to death. One twenty three and one twenty,so like so many others on this board I am not ready to let this thing beat me. Too much golf to play too many miles to put on my Harley,too many years left to spend with my loving wife and kids.Well I will keep you posted.
