Went for pet scan results today for husband 4 months post chemo/ radio for throat cancer, no results in yet but consultant put a camera down his throat and thinks it all looks good . I told her to check my husband’s armpit because I noticed a lump , she says it’s abnormal and is sending him for ultrasound/ biopsy ? But as she is ent doc if there is anything sinister in his armpit that’s not her area and this is something else, unconnected to throat , so we have not had the pet scan results for the throat cancer treatment that ended in sep , found a new lump today and my husband has interpreted all this as all clear for cancer , is it just me ?
Pity the results weren’t ready. If your ent can’t see anything there probably isn’t anything there but you really have to check for PET scan. The scan is whole body so will likely pick the axillary lump up if it’s abnormal
Fingers crossed.
