Hi there,
I just got back from the oncologist appointment. Had to have an mri scan a few weeks ago as 1st pet scan at 12 week post radiotherapy showed a hotspot. I've been so stressed.
The oncologist did the usual ,scope down throat ,visual check in mouth. He said he couldn't see anything unusual and had discussed my scan results with the panel, and they've decided that they think its scar tissue showing on the scan. But he will arrange another pet scan in 3 months to double check. I asked would he not do a biopsy but he said he didn't need to, he wasnt worried. Im so relieved, I had geared myself up for bad news. I know im not out of the woods yet but its such a relief.
Also I can have my peg removed .....yayyyyy. He asked if I was using it , and when I said only once a day he asked why once , I said because I have surplus ensures left which I can't drink as they taste awful so im using them so the dont go to waste. He laughed.
I know ill be stressed again when next scan result is looming, but I feel ive cleared another hurdle.

Well done Tracy now go and forget it for a few months
I know how stressed you were as I’ve been in the same spot( hot 
)
My team decided to biopsy for speed but not being able to see anything the had to take multiple samples from everywhere. I was sore for ages!!!
Rsy is right about early scans. My oncologist said they would prefer to scan at six months.
You can understand why. If you’re still in pain with swallowing at scan time it’s hardly surprising
That’s such good news Lotty and I’m so pleased for you. I had my post treatment PET CT on Monday. Anxious time now waiting for results
