I am known patient of cancer on right lateral boarder of tongue. Operation of right hemiglossectomy & right sond was done on 15th Nov, 2014. Five chemotherapy and 30 radiotherapy completed on 31st Jan, 2015. PET CT SCAN done on 16.7. 2015 by SPANDAN diagnostic center reports" A nodular enhanced lesion (1.63 cm x 1.12 cm) is seen in left lateral boarder of tongue, showing increased FDG uptake. An ill defined irregular mass with increased FDG uptake is also seen at left side of base of tongue. The mass and nodule appeared as continuous. PET CT SCAN done by AIIMS on 19.8. 2015 reports" Ill defined soft tissue thickening with increased FDG uptake noted involving left lateral boarder of tongue which extends till floor of the mouth. PET CT done by AIIMS again on 5.12. 2015. It also reports same as earlier. But I do not have any complain today. I am afraid of the impression derived by the AIIMS" Metabolically active residual / recurrent disease involving tongue and floor of mouth" What should I do?
