Clear pet scan came back normal before surgery in a few days
I am 57 year old female - I had a pet scan done a couple days before my glossectomy and neck dissection and tongue reconstruction surgery with thigh graft. All that happens on June 3rd - Pet Scan - It came back normal. Is that a good sign I might not need radiation?

It's a good start...
Now its all about the pathology of the tumor itself and the lymph nodes they take during the neck dissection. If the tumor doesn't have any high risk features and they don't identify anything in your nodes then I think you have a good possibility of a "watch and wait" approach. Good luck on your surgery!
