I’m doing well! Have a six month checkup tomorrow!! Thank you!

It is good to hear that the medical community is beginning to realize radiotherapy may not always be the best route considering the damage it can do to the patient. I am always saddened by the damage done to those of us who went willingly into the radiation vault on a daily basis for weeks on end. Doctors believe that radiation will kill the cancer. Guess what, death will kill the cancer as well but it's not a good alternative.
We are finally seeing excellent results from certain drugs, tests which can find cancer markers, and just better knowledge and awareness of alternative cancer treatments in the medical community. Time will tell but I wouldn't wish radiotherapy to the head and neck, a very vulnerable location of the body, on anyone if it can be avoided. Thank you those who have had the courage to go with alternatives. You help to perhaps save future generations from needless torture.
