in Head and Neck Cancer #1
My surgery for the spot on my tounge went well..heck what do I know I was out like a light...but what the ENT said to me prior was that the sight was small so thats why it didn't show on the PET I had on June 6th and that was a good thing. What he told my friend that went with me while I was in recovery everything looked good, he took some intial slices that went to pathology , that report came back so he took some more , really a bigger (for the lack of a better word) area than what he thought at first, but the margins are clean. I have stitches , great pain meds and antibiotics and he will see me in 2 weeks. I see my onco next wed,she will have a copy of the pathology report..so will have to wait a week for the final outcome, but I know if she sees something that needs taken care of she will call me before that,lets hope not but if there is additional tx so be it.

    Hi Linda,

    Great news, glad you feel fine. The ENT usually knows what they are looking for so all sounds good for you. Rest up and take care of yourself.

    That's Great
    Having it small and with clear margins is such good news for a bad dx. That should take some worry away I hope.

    Recover soon,
