Doc told me over the phone that the concern is a spot in the mediasteinum. Tumor board recomennds chemo and possible radiation at this point. gonna meet the CCC's medical oncologist to discuss plan. At least there is a plan.( just want a fighting chance.) The ENT oncologist explained that there is also some brand new stuff they want to talk to me about. I guess this is mediocre news since I knew from the petscan that there was uptake in the nodes. obviously wanted to stay away from mets to lungs, liver, etc. so thats a partial relief. dont wanna get to high or to low. Just wanted to let you guys know where I am at.
