She's been on Tarceva and now on Tagrisso for the lung cancer but I don't think they have a targeted therapy for the neck cancer, which they surgically removed, because
they don't seem to know what the cancerous neck tumor exactly is or where it came from. I would guess that's why they're suggesting chemo with radiation and haven't suggested any immunotherapy. I think our big question today is ... do we say yes or no to chemo and does it matter where we go to have this done? Sorry our questions are changing from day to day based on the direction and info the doctors are giving us. Originally we were concerned about having a good doctor for the neck because that was scary because it was right up against the carotid artery but that seems not to be an issue now because we don't think we're going to have radiation to the neck. So at this point we're left with the questions of chemo or any other therapy if there is any that would address the neck cancer. This is all because of the neck tumor and not the lung cancer, I guess?
So I think we are at the point of, do we say yes or no to chemo and does it matter where we go to have this done? Or at least I think these are the correct questions we have and this is where we're at.
Thank you for responding.

Hi,

I just want to say no need for any apology about questions and situation changing. That is the nature of the situation. Sending good vibes. I am sure you will make the right decision for you and your Gracie's situation.

Hi, TheTwoOfUs, how are you and your wife doing? Did you decide to go with chemo?
