I saw my oncologist yesterday, and it looks like this might be straightened out. He told me he wants me back in four weeks, another PET/CT in January, and after that, see the ENT. I asked if I should see the radiation oncologist, and he said it is not necessary. He and the ENT can cover the tests and exams, etc.
