Minnie,

My mom has similar things happen with scar tissue and tightening of her skin etc. Her face sometimes gets red and feels hot but it goes away and comes back. I know you both have had similar surgeries etc. Remember she had the surgery after she had been radiated and everything healed up over time. Her leg where they took the bone and skin graph took over a year to heal and the scab to clear up. She even went to a special wound doctor because it took so long to heal.

Her doctor has finally stopped the PET scans as there were always questionable areas showing up on them and it was always inconclusive even when she would get the CT it would show areas of concern and her ENT would look at them and he would not be able to determine much. Ususally they just looked at the prior scan to see if anything had changed.

I am sending you huge hugs and prayers. You are in my thoughts.

Love,
Dani
