Hi Mandi,

I don't have any answers to your questions. You have peaked my interest about some of your questions.

1.) Is there a blood test that will tell you if you have active cancer?

2)Can't the Doctors tell from the scans weather or not you have a reoccurance. It sounds like they have a vauge way of reading the scans.

3) why not do a biosopy of the new spot on his tongue and tonsil and find out for sure.

Why do they seem to want to under estimate any potential reoccurance?

Sorry for asking more questions but it concerns me when I read a post like Mandi's.

Take care Mandi, Your friend Daniel
