I went last Tuesday, Nov 20, for my first post Tx PET scan. I talked to the ENT on the phone today and he said I have an uptake in my tongue and neck. I think he said slight, but I can't remember. He said he might want to get me on the operating table to look around and take some biopsies. We are to talk about it some more at my next appointment on Dec 4.

I was really praying to get through this without any surgery. I am really bothered by this news.
