Hi Linda, You were pretty close about the appt times--mine was 3 hours late, not 2!  I'm getting ready to fly back Tues. I am having an FNA (before surgery) on several lymph nodes in my neck that the radiologist read as "suspicious", with some on the OPPOSITE side of the neck from my tumor. I am sure hoping they don't have to do a dissection on both sides of my neck. I'm dreading it but at the same time I sure wish it was over... Also I am told that if more than one node is positive I will need radiation, which is a shock since none of the docs could feel anything during the physical exam. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
8/2006: SCC, right lateral tongue, well differentiated, superficially invasive. 10/2009: recurrence, rt lateral tongue, surgery, rt mod neck dissection. 2/2010: metastasized node under left mandible. 3/2010: Induction chemo 3 rounds, Cisplatin, Tax, 5-FU. Surg and rad to follow.
