Hello everyone, I have just got results back from Pet and CT scan, which was good, no signs of spreading which is fabulous. However neck lympthatic lump still needs to shrink more was offered 2 choices . Wait 4 months and CT scan, every 2 months to see if it has reduced . Or neck surgery, which has side effects. I chose to wait the 2 months as chemo radiotherapy side effects are nasty enough. Was told neck surgery has side effects as well. Has anyone else been in this situation? Thanks Cassie
Hi Cassie/Peacelily11decbba
That's great to read that you've had good results from your recent scan.
You'd be better posting your question in the head and neck cancer group, where I can see you've posted before, as you'll then connect directly with others who have had the surgery you're having.
Wishing you all the best
