I have cancer of the soft palete

After initial Biopsy which indicated SCC of soft palete I had a CT Scan on 8/2/which was negartive.

Then Oncologist to double check decided to do a PET/CT on 9/4 which also was negative.

Then my ENT Physician decides that he wants to do another biopsy near original site. We do the procedure on 9/11 and results come back poitive on a tissue sample (biopsy) taken near the original site.

So now we are having an MRI done this Friday (9/27)afternoon. That was a decision made by the oncologist as he is trying to locate the area that is impacted.

ENT wants to do exploratory surgery, which as far as I am concerned is out of the question. One does not go exploring when you have no idea where or how bad the site is.

I truthfully would say that one can not go totally by these SCANS. Biopsy's don't turn up negative unless there is nothing there so I would advise you just do not go by the SCANS.

Good luck to you and I hope everything is truly clear.

As far as me Hopefully this Friday they will solve the riddle of where my cancer site is.
