In late October my medical oncologist notes indicate a 1 cm mass in my neck and the otolaryngologist said it was just the carotid artery. The medical oncologist notes say a neck dissection looks eminant but the otolaryngologist said no. In December and in March, the PET showed no activity in that area. I was ready for rock, paper, scissors...or in Japanese, jon, kin, pon, laugh . I beat them, by the way!
