Yes I did find some of your earlier posts and thank you for all the work you put into these. I realized at one time he is quite a fighter. When he got the radiation to his throat after a few weeks he got blisters on his throat which was horrible for him. Again the pain relief is critical to get beyond that type of pain and just relax, otherwise you get all stressed out. By now though he has completed the treatment his doctors have set up for him and he is more lingering at home with home hospice care. My sister enrolled him for clinical trials at Mayo but no word yet. It's like there has got to be a way to save him. If anyone knows of any targeted therapies we would love to hear about these. The cancer is still local, two tumors on his tongue. I am very happy to hear of your success in getting through this cancer and soon I hope this part of your life journey will be only a distant memory - this is a tough one! God Bless!
