It amazes me that my Dr. did not think it necessary to have radiation and chemo. I even asked my ENT about seeing an oncologist and he said he would be glad to refer to me to one, but that they would not do anything since I got clean margins on my last surgery. It is has been six weeks since the surgery. I do not go back to him until JUly 1 and then we schedule the PET scan. I wonder why he said an oncologist would not do anything at this point. I am beginning to wonder if I should have went ahead and had him refer me to an oncologist. I will probably go ahead and do that at my next appt. I sure do not want a reoccurence of this stuff.
