Thank you....it's overwhelming to say the least. Worrying is a useless thing but it's hard not to do.

I am scheduled for TORS and neck dissection Aug 16th. I think they are having a little trouble with PET scan as the surgeon has had a few radiologists read it and a specialist who just reads head and neck. There is "mild hypermetabolic" activity but I was less than a month recovery from the tonsillectomy that started the whole thing. I think inflammation that was there before the surgery and what was a result from surgery is muddying the water.

I have a small chance of not having radiation or so they say but I have talked to radiologist any way so I am established and ready if we have to do it. The only good thing I can say is everyone has been nice and super helpful and I really like the surgeon and radiology/oncologist.
