Hi All.
T4N1M0 hpv+. Treatment 6 weeks chemo radiation completed 31/10/25.
The results of Pet scan show some issues on the right tonsil with possible concerns on a right lymph node. All primary gone from the left side.
They have offered either to wait for another scan (in 2-3 weeks time) or go straight ahead with the ND and right tonsil removal.
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. It seems quite a big procedure for a precautionary op.
Thanks
Becky
I had issues with my PET and was offered a biopsy. Sorry that’s not much help as what is being suggested for you is surgery
