Father diagnosed with larynx cancer sept. 2010. Completed 7 weeks chemo/ radiation treatments 3 months ago, follow up by ent oncologist today, ent looked at pet scan said no cancer lymp nodes and larynx clear also done nasopharengeal scope, looked good. But ENT called back later today said radiologist reported larynx still full of cancer??? What??? I'm so confused. Dont know what to make of this. He suggested we come back 2 months for follow up. Any thoughts?

Dear. it seems there might be some confusion between the radiologist and the ENT doctor. You can wait for the final print report and then can take a 2nd opinion based on that report. Moreover the recurrence of cancer will be established by biopsy only. regards
