Hi Frances, good to know you are back to 'normal' so soon. Can't remember exactly the stage and type of your cancer. The size of your lymph nodes has definitely reduced significantly. I never had a PET scan and the team of doctors did not offer any surgery because they firmly believed that what was left was scarred tissue. The decision was made two months post treatment.In fact at that time I was prepared to have a neck dissection and had discussed it with my oncologist. His answer was a straight 'not necessary'. I trusted him and believed they had made the right decision for me. So far so good. I have no complaint.

Karen stage 4 tonsil cancer diagnosed in 9/01.
