Man, that sucks. I am dreading my MRI and Petscan in mid April . You and I are in uncharted territory as far as radiation TX goes. They have no benchmark to compare us to. with everyone else getting half the doses we had.
The radiologist who did my last MRI told me that there was so much damage she really could not tell what was what anymore.
As I mentioned, she thought the cancer was back, but after the RO and tumor board went over it with her, said it was edema and swelling. and I do not even have as much radiation as you did.
The needle biopsy should be more accurate for you.
I'm praying for an infection also. That ulcer sounds painful.
I'm still on a baby fentanyl (12 mcg) patch due to constant pain. I had to cut down the nebulizer when I started coughing up really bloody sputum. Back to just ropey choking kind and back on baby steroids (predisone)

No matter how tough we are, we can not help but worry in situations like this. Hang in there. We are all rooting for you brother.
