It has been 5 months since my husband finished his 35 radiation and 3 chemo treatments. His PET scan came in today, and the doctor said that it is still showing borderline activiity in the lower neck. He is scheduled for a neck dissection on Nov. 5th. He has been through so much these pass 8 months and was just beginning to eat this pass week and back to work after being off for 6 months. He still has the PEG tube, and doesn't look like they will be removing it since he is going to have the surgery. When the doctor checked him a few weeks ago looking down his nose and Throat with a tube, he said that he didn't see any activity going on, but lets wait and see what the PET scan shows. And it did show activity going on still. He said that he would not go through Chemo and raditation again. He was not going to suffer with the pain, being sick, not eating and being in the hospital. I told him there's no choice if you have too then you got too, or you will die...he said he would rather die then go through it again.
