For those of you who know my story, radiation and chemo treatments for Stage IV tonsil cancer ended on 7/15/16. My 3 month post treatment PET was performed on 10/14/16. The results showed a 4.6 SUV in an area where part of my tongue was removed. The docs could not conclusively determine whether this was radiated tissue or signs of cancer still in the tongue. I had two options .... 1) wait until 6-month PET or 2) do biopsy to determine for sure. I chose option 2 as I was ready to put this behind me. Biopsy was performed on 11/11/16.
Biopsy came back negative .... cancer free at this time. So happy.
As I have stated before, I so appreciate the help everyone has provided to me during this time. You guys are all wonderful!!!
Freddie
