Hi Colleen,

Thank you for reaching out as this has been quite a new journey for us. He is starting this Thursday 5 weeks once a week of low dose carbo/taxol and 5 days of radiation for 5 weeks the oncologist originally was a bit downtrodden thought palliative care as only option she put his case in front of the Northwestern tumor board and said it was the best news she could of received and he is a candidate for surgery he is stage 4 squamous cell it had traveled to the supraclavicular lymph node which they biopsied and sent off for next generation sequencing as he is adopted there is no family history. Ideally, I wanted to take him to the proton center, but he refused due to the drive at this point he can still swallow the radiologist doesn't want to put in a feeding tube until it's absolutely necessary the radiologist also mentioned shooting for curative. We meet with the surgeon this week for a consultation. I have to admit that's the part that scares me the most I did see a clip on the news about robotic surgery.
