OP Patient Advocate (1000+ posts) Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,844 | I finally got the call from my oncologist today and it's kind of unnerved me, mainly because it leaves me with more questions and my ENT won't be back from vacation for 2 weeks to follow up with me.
She informed me that the scan showed no masses or tumors however I do have several spots of heightened activity in several spots, right and left mandible, left base of the skull, right tonsil and back of the throat.
From what my oncologist told me, the "normal" readings are around 2-2.5 where several of my spots rated between 3-3.5 and she felt that I needed to schedule with my ENT to get checked out. Since I have no idea what this means and now I can't see my ENT for two weeks, I'm a bit nervous...actually a little scared.
I know it's not cancer until they say it's cancer so I'm trying not to get too worked up. Any good words or insight would be very much appreciated.
