Petey you are not alone in this! As you know my hubby is going through treatment for positive node, he has already had his neck disection etc in 2005. They have shrunk the node with chemo and radiation, after his treatment is complete (2 more to go!) and he has healed a bit he will have another PET scan, then he is scheduled to have the mass removed. Have you had a PET scan?
