In all the post-treatment surveillance appointments, the only imaging they ever did was chest x-rays, and that maybe only once. He didn't have any other imaging until this recurrence. I find that odd. Is this typical? Did he fall through the cracks b/c he didn't advocate for himself? Thanks in advance! 39yo DAUGHTER to: 71yo Dad with SCC throat cancer BOT, Jan 2006 Chemo and radiation Feb-Mar 2006 (trach, feeding tube) Cancer-free April 2006 Remission!! April 2011 Recurrence Jan 2014- Stage 1-2, BOT SSC Chemo and radiation Feb-Apr 2014 Waiting on a scan in Jul 2014 to check effectiveness of treatment.
