All appears different in Ireland post treatment I’m 12 weeks out of treatment tomorrow and going for C&T scans that my ENT consultant says are just for a base line and not looking for spread. I saw my ENT consultant last week 11 weeks after treatment and will see her every 8 weeks for the first year. All good last week looking with the scope and feeling the base of the tongue.

    Post treament

    After my chemo and radiation ended (6-8-16), I saw my ENT every 8 weeks and my MO and RO every 3 months.  My cancer returned within 8 or 9 months of treatemnt ending.  Frown

    I had a radical left neck dissection on June 8, 2017.  I now see my surgeon EVERY month for the scope.  He said I have a 50-50 chance of the cancer recurring.  Frown   I want the 50 that is doesn't !!!  Smile

    I was told if its going to return it normaly does in the first 12 months, fingers crossed that you get the right half of the 50-50 this time. I never expect things if mine stays away then so be it but Im not going to sit worrying about it to much.
