Wow - I was hoping I was pretty much done with this, but I guess the cancer has other plans.
I never really shared the scan results with you all - so here is the nutshell version.
The scan in December showed weird activity in my head and neck regions, but the docs said it was probably just left over from radiation "probably nothing to be nervous about, but we should watch it.". So, I had another scan in March. This time, my head and neck were fine, but there were some new really small nodules in my lungs - "probably nothing to be nervous about, but we should watch them." So, I got yet another scan this June (this time of just my chest) and the stupid nodules were bigger (but still small). So, while we can't say for 100% sure that the nodules are my cancer returning, my doc doesn't want to take chances. According him, they are still to small to biopsy, but since my particular variety of cancer is one that when it spreads, spreads to lungs, we want to take this seriously, and use this opportunity to "stay ahead of this."
So, the upshot is that I have two appointments with different oncologists tomorrow to see what they each recommend.
