So good to hear from you Sylvia and MrsjHagen!
Sylvia, I can almost here the spring in your step. I think we'll all be interested in following Ken's experience with immunotherapy. Has he had 2 infusions already? Please do keep us posted. And how are you doing?
MrsJHagen, doing both chemo and radiation simultaneously (or as the medical lingo says "concurrently") must be exhausting and compounding. The last leg is in sight. I admire your determination to power through and am glad you're pulling on all available resources. All the best with the last cisplatin treatment today. We'll be thinking of you!

He has now finished 3 infusions. We really feel blessed this therapy was approved for head and neck cancer. I made a big decision for my own health. I have been suffering with an arthritic big toe joint for the past few months. The only cure is to fuse the joint. I had this procedure done on my right big toe in 2013, so I am well acquainted with the process. With an uncertain future, we decided I should have the fusion surgery for the left toe now. I need to be in good shape to take care of Ken. I am two weeks post-op now and healing well....so glad I have only two feet! Family and friends are such a blessing to help!
