i went yesterday for pre-op for my neck dissection and for results from my petscan 8 weeks after 30 imrt treatments.
my doctor said the uptake was much less in the primary spot(oropharynx).so i asked if the cancer is gone and she said she really couldn't tell me that.just that the uptake was much less and that things looked good. i guess i was just looking for 100% confirmation. just more good but not the news i was looking for.
she said she would know more after the surgery and getting the nodes out. only one showed cancer before the radiation. it was and still is an odd node that is fleshy and up high under my jaw.
