Thanks Cheryl. My surgery will be in Vanc. With luck I won't need chem. or rads. I asked about whether I am HPV+ or not, but they got on another subject. I will keep asking. It was a very rushed day with the PET at 11:00 AM, then the surgeon's interview at 2:30PM. A couple funny things transpired. We had to walk about 2 blocks from the PET building to the surgeon's carrying the CD of the scan. The surgeon didn't open it. He told me straight out that I had cancer spots and he was going to operate. No real team consultation, only an oncologist who said she will be at the table to do the blue light thing. Our impression was that the PET/CT was for use later and my diagnosis and treatment were decided by Vanc. and Prince George based on my biopsy, MRI, and CT scans done previously. More info: it is SCC and the MO said I am T1N0M0 to T2N0M0 at this time.
