I am currently at the Mayo in MN. I was diagnosed on 8/12, had surgery to remove RT Tonsil, tumor and 42 lymph nodes on 9/7. Based on the pathology reports post surgery I was recommended for the DART HPV protocol. Started the 2 week twice a day radiation and 2 doses of docetaxel on 10/4 and I am 2 days away from finishing this treatment protocol. Things have gone pretty well to this point. How have things worked out for you so far? Info on this DART HPV study derived protocol is hard to come by.

Hey @iamgroot, I'm not sure if you saw the reply from @denisebriggs recommending PT and stretching exercises for your neck muscles. It's been a little more than a week since you finished treatment. How are you doing?
