I had the same issue with PET scan scheduling. I notified my Oncologist, and he was able to use his contacts to schedule it sooner. I hope you have the same success. Congratulations on finding out that you have only stage one cancer. I pray that your future treatments go well.

Hi I am still trying to get my PET scan moved up and it is currently scheduled for the 20th. Still having a lot of pain on my tongue so it is still very upsetting wondering if everything will be ok etc. I am going to see a Dr at the University of Rochester on Monday. I am wondering if there are different techniques and surgical technology at different hospitals for removing the cancer from the side of my tongue or are they all the same ? The last time I had tongue cancer was June of 2012 so it was gone for almost 11 years is this abnormal? Things I read say it usually doesn’t return after that long ? Thanks for your feedback it is greatly appreciated.
