Hello everyone, Well I'm 4 mos.post Tx, and had my appt. with my RO. (he specializes in head and neck cancer). He read me the results of my scans. CT scan was all clear!!! The tumor is gone, and no signs of cancer cells in the head and neck region. PET scan also showed no activity in that area, but...(I hate to even write this) there was a 7mm light up on my right lung. It could be nothing he said, or an infection I could of had. Anyway, he scheduled me to see a thoracic surgeon to check it out, and probably schedule another pet scan in 3 mos. I have been really positive, and still trying to be. Like he said it may be nothing, and if it is hopefully it's small enough to get rid of. I am fully aware that this dreaded disease can travel to the lung. So I am concerned. I'm going to the Hillmen Cancer Center in Pitts.,PA. to see the thoracic MD. But, hey, it was still great news that the tumor is gone on the base of tongue!! I fought that battle, and feel I won that one!!! Take care and thanks for listening.
