Had the doc's appointment yesterday. This is with the reconstructive surgeon, he took a look at what's going on and in his opinion probably a recurrence. Did a biopsy, scheduled a whole body pet/ct for Thursday, following Thurday I see the cancer surgeon, go from there. Not looking good at this point. Doc doesn't think they'll do another surgery, especialy since it looks like the cancer spread elswhere, there's a nodule in my neck that is not even close to any lymph nodes, etc.
So yesterday I was trying to keep positive, last night and this morning it kind of hit me, hope I can do chemotherapy and it has some positive affects on the tumors. See what next week brings.


SCC Tongue, stage IV diagnosed Sept, 2002, 1st radical neck dissection left side in Sept, followed by RAD/Chemo. Discovered spread to right side nodes March 2003, second radical neck dissection April, followed by more RAD/Chemo.
