              I had it done along with a skin graft on head. Really not much pain and able to do most activities in a day or so.

                    Thanks Jackie, just got PET scan results and lymph nodes in mediastinum(chest) were radioactive indicating possible cancer. Will undergo a procedure to biopsy these nodes.Have not had Radiation yet and still undertimed on use of Interferon, will seek a second opinion. Hope your husband is doing well.

                          Thanks Ed , recommendatins from an Oncologist and Radiation Oncologist. I am going to seek a second opinion as the use of interferon is not an easy decision. PET scan showed some radioactive lymph nodes in mediastinum(chest) so next a biopsy of this area. Priority vs. radiation of head.
