Hi,
I'm new to this forum. Ive finished tx. 3 month PET scan scheduled for 3/15. Went back to work 6 weeks after treatment finished so Im not complaining!. Got through the mucous now just dry mouth, taste slow to return, not using my G-Tube etc. Now I'm getting worried about reoccurrances even though I'm not sure the first one is gone. Also worried about neck dissections. Wondering if I made the right decision to wait and see if I need salvage surgery. Now my tissue is radiated. Reading survival rates and they are horrible. Even the HPV+ ones arent fantastic. Hi and always hoping to gain knowledge!
