I've been in my room just crying my heart out. We went to Pgh today and the recurrence on his jaw is malignant. The doctor was going to start him on avastin, but since our first round of chemo ended July 7, we can't start the avastin til 6 mos after the first chemo stopped. So, we will start taxol soon. He'll get a CT scan next week. I asked the dr. why not a petscan and he just said that the CT scan would be enough. I was too upset to ask more questions. I don't know if i'm posting this in the right place. Bear with me, as I am a wreck and not very computer savvy. Love to all--------------Claudia
