March 8th this year I had a radical neck dissection on my right neck. The doctor @ Georgetown said it was worse than he thought when he made the diagnosis. I went through 42 Radiation Treatments and 3 carboplatin chemo treatments(first three weeks of radiation). They were going to do more but the blood work results prevented anymore. Unfortunately I have been reading about oral cancer that metasisizes to the lymph nodes and the outcomes do not look that good. I have my first PET Scan on 9/30/13 and a follow up with the radiation oncologist on Oct 4th. I am worried to say the least that the cancer has spread elsewhere and just needed a place to vent. Have not shared this worry with the family as they are worried enough already. I am hoping that the PET scan will be clean but since the PET scan was clean from my first occurence of oral cancer I cannot help but worry.
Anyone know any good questions I can ask the doctor on October 4th, assuming the PET Scan is clean??
