I had a CT scan of my head and neck in June of 2006 for tonsil swelling, ordered by my ENT. The report--No Evidence on Malignancy. Boy were they surprised to find a stage II tumor 9 months later during tonsillectomy. My oncologist said that a CT scan does not 'show malignancy'.
Left tonsil SCC, HPV+. T2N0M0. Tonsillectomy 3-07, bilateral radiation, cisplatin 3x, Tx completed 6-06. Clear PET 4-01-2008.
Thyroidectomy 5-9-08, resulting in permanent surgically-induced hypoparathyroidism and adrenal problems. Bummer.
