Hi again, so we have been encouraged by my husband's ENT surgeon, (we have decided that we no longer what to work with his current oncologist for various reasons) so his ENT surgeon has stepped up to the plate to lead his recovery) to seek out possible other alternative treatments that are not offered here in Hawaii (the resources are extremely limited including medical oncologists!) We will be traveling to Sacramento where we lived for 32 years prior to moving back to Hawaii and seeing an ENT surgeon at UCD Med Ctr. There is a possibility he may want to consider do a debridement on his throat to remove any necrotic tissue. I am nervous that this maybe something that will need to be considered and he is barely started healing, Has anyone had a debridement done?

This sounds like a good plan. Although the travel is no fun when there are health issues, you must do what you must. No one is a better advocate for his health than the both of you. UCD is great.
Others here have had debridement done. I was fortunate to be able to just exercise and work through my issues, although it took years. Perhaps I just got so used to the struggle that it just became normal. Good healing.
