Steve,

I'm sorry you are dealing with this so close to when you finished your last treatments. I pray that there is a better explanation for the white mass on your PET scan than what is currently on your mind.

I did a lot of reading (probably too much) prior to meeting with our RO the first time. One concern I had was the one you had...since H&N cancer can recur as H&N cancer I wondered how it is treated the 2nd time around because I thought I had read that Radiation can't be done twice.

Since this was the cart before the horse, we didn't go into any great detail. However, our RO did say that my assumption that radiation can't be done twice wasn't always correct, and there are many factors (like David mentioned above)that go into that decision. So, I think in some situations it is an option.

Let us know how your appointment goes. We will be thinking about you!
