What Does Liquid Filled Mass In Neck Suggest?
Back ground: Husband had oral cancer in Oct.2013 clean scans in april and in may 2014. Cat scan showed masses in his neck. Pet scan confirmed liquid filled masses, only in neck. Biopsy showed some squemious cells. He also has a bad tooth that he had pulled today and started antibiotics. He starts chemo tomorrow. Even though medical oncologist said biopsy wasn t 100% but because of masses he feels chemo is nessasary because cancer could be back.Question: could it be possible bad tooth caused neck masses? Or because they saw some cancer cells, this means cancers back?

this is all about the immune system process. diagnostic reports helps a physician to plan the possible treatment for the welfare of the patient. tooth removal should not be an issue. kindly follow the guidelines of the oncologist and I am sure your husband will be fine. kindly check with your onco if your husband can do some regular simple exercise. as exercise is a great help for the immune system buildup. thank you
