Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 642 | Today I heard from my surgeon's P.A. regarding my having the PET scan next Monday. My docs at MDACC have no objection to me having the PET scan but their position is that PET scans are not an effective tool in diagnosing recurrences of head and neck cancer.
Heck, I don't know who is right but I am darn sure having the PET scan done and happy that I am doing something pro-active and immediate.
