Prior to TORS radical tonsillectomy and leftside lymphoid romoval (24) (noids were clear) my navdx results was 77. The surgery was a success and after 3 weeks the results showed undectable. 2 months got a result of 24, and after a retest 3 weeks later it went down to 12. The Unversity of Michigan surgeon is likely to order another pet/s to determine the source. Any thoughts?

    foxx, welcome to the CSN H&N discussion board.

    If you get a chance check out the Superthread on the main H&N page.

    I can't say much but your numbers are very low so it can't be much. I assume the PET scan will pick it up. We recently had a person on here in similar circumstances and after doing a PET they found a small spot on his rib and used radiation to get rid of it. The unusual thing is he said they went back to a previous scan and it was there but it was missed. Hopefully, they find what is giving you these readings and eradicate it.

    Wishing You The Best

    Take Care, God Bless
