PET Scan Showed Enlarged Node In Spleen, Neck And Back Of Tongue. Needle Biopsy Came Back As Mass. Due For Tongue Biopsy. Serious?
My husband had a PET scan only to find an enlarged node on his spleen, three on his neck and a growth on the back of his tongue. We were aware of the growth on the back of his neck for which he had a
needle biopsy last week. It came back as "a mass." That was it for a diagnosis. He is having biopsy for the growth on the back of his tongue next week.
We are concerned to have learned today about the three additional nodes on his neck and spleen.
Help!
