Hello everyone! I got a call from my ENT today. He had forwarded my cat scan to my surgeon at Virginia Mason in Seattle so he could review & bring before tumor board. They want pet scan done for a base line for future comparisons if needed & just to be sure everything is clear like they suspect. As I understand it, pet scans give a lot of false postives. Does that mean a negative would be really good? I'm concerned that if we get false negatives, then here we go with biopsies & all the garbage that goes with it; freak out, worry, despair, healing from the biopsy, etc., etc. I've just had about enough of this freakin disease!!! Can somebody just make it all go away?
dx 2/11/04 scca bot T3 IU 2B MO poorly differentiated, margins ok, 3/16 modest, jaw split, over half of tongue removed, free flap from left forearm - finished chemo & rad treatment 5/20/04
