Well, we saw the RO today when Gordon went in for hydration (he is still having difficulty getting fluids into his system.) He took another look at Gordon's tooth and informed us that there is an a questionable area that is either an infection or possibly a tumor. The dentist tomorrow will either drain the infection and inspect the tooth or take a biopsy.

As I wait until tomorrow's appointment, I cannot help but wonder why this area, if it is a malignant tumor, would not show up on the PET scan or CT scan he just had in the past 2 weeks? I didn't think of it at the time to ask the rads onc when we were with him because my head felt like it was going to explode.

He did say that contrary to my belief, that area of his teeth was not in the rads field so that is why if it is a tumor, it was not resolved by the rx tx.

Just when you think it is time to start to breathe easier something else like this comes along and just kicks you in the stomach with renewed fear.
