SweetPea, I'm sorry to hear it has spread to your neck. Best of luck with the radiation. My doctor seems really laid back about this whole thing. I had a CT scan, it didn't show any cancer in the bones or in the lympth nodes, but I'm wondering if I should get a second opinion, just to be sure??? My doctor is an ENT and a neck/throat oncologist. He just wants to see me twice a year for a check-up. Does anyone know of a scan that would show if there were more tumors in the roof of my mouth? Since mine was in the soft palate (roof) of my mouth, I have read there is less chance of spreading, but I know it's possible. I am just hoping that this is the end of cancer for me, but I worry that it's not.


Diagnosed with Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the hard palate Apr 2009. Surgery May 2009. CT scan was clear, waiting for 2nd opinion.
