Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 31 | I got the result over the phone from my ENT. I also have appointments this week or next with my Hem-Onc, Rad-Onc, and head and neck surgeon. I guess I have to hear what they all have to say. All along, every doctor kept saying I was making good progress, the right kind of changes were taking place, etc. Everything was positive until the PET scan and WHAM! - Bad News. It was like being punched in the gut.
