Hi Steve,

I was operated on originally in Jan 06. The following June my doctor found a swollen lymph node he was not happy with (it was on the same side as the cancer) and he removed it. The node was at the base of my neck, along the scar from the surgery in January. It tested negative for cancer.

Also, I developed a massive ulcer in December which turned out to be just that, an ulcer. Its healing now thanks to HBO treatment.

BTW PET scans can be inaccurate on occasion. I had one in December that indicated problems on the opposite side of my neck, but further investigation (MRI) showed nothing in the area.

So not all stories have bad endings. Please don't stress yourself out and let us know what happens.
