Took Radiation, Chemoterapy For Throat Cancer Stage2. Mass Removed. Prescribed CT Scan Shortly. Reason?

My partner had throat cancer staqe 2 and the radiation.chemo worked to remove the main site it tranverred the throat to the other side and got lymph nodes involved for 4/11 being removed in the shoulder surgery which had a lot mass removed.
Today they said the CT Scan showed a shallow in the throat but nothing to be worried about but to a repeat CT Scan in three months. They also did a deep camera view of his shoulders height to his neck.
What is a scam and why it is not visble with the camera exam tody and wy another CT scan in3 months

Hi,
The exact meaning of throat cancer is unclear. Throat has several subsites. Anyway chemoradiation is the treatment of choice in most of the cases depending on the disease stage. Probably post RT neck dissection has been performed. Now the scan is done as a routine follow up procedure. nothing to worry about. This can early detect the recurrence if any and proper treatment can be given. Do not worry at all. Follow your doctors' advise.
