Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 8 | Thanks David. I just had another CT Scan this past week. They found 3 more spots - mouth, lymph node under my jaw and lymph node just below my clavicle. It sounds like they are just going to expand the Radiation zone this coming week and hopes it will get that lymph node near the clavicle. Has anyone had their CA travel below the clavicle? I guess this has been very aggressive. Hopefully, after my newly ordered PET scan we can tell if it traveled more than just below my clavicle.
Thanks for all or any feedback! We are in this together!
Ron
