I humbly thank everyone in this group for the love, care, support, experiences, and suggestions from this wonderful forum.
I will post details on the journey @hrhwilliam. Thank you, Sir, for being kind.
Thank you @sandralea58 and others.
I agree with what @davehutsell that the Lord Jesus is our Strength in this journey, and He gave us friends, families, advises, and this wonderful forum to feel we are not alone. Honestly, I was trembling with fear of the unknown, side effects and mortality. Sometimes, my husband is depressed, and I understand why there’s so much delay on the appointments/scheduling. My husband is not prepared before. This week, I felt he is prepared to handle what’s ahead.
Next week will be the final interview on the TORS surgery of these 2 hospitals and we will decide which one surgeon to choose. We know it’s a 5- or 6-hours TOR with neck dissection and we were told lymph nodes will be taken out not only the 2 shown on the PET/CT scans but also surrounding lymph nodes (maybe 10 or more).
The 1st hospital will do Surgery and then radiation, if necessary, based on what they found out. The 2nd hospital will do Surgery and then be part of a Clinical Trial of De-escalation which means only 6 Chemo with Immunotherapy. We will find out more details.
Thanks again and may the good Lord bless us all.
I am praying for you and your husband. I failed to mention that my wife, too has modeled Christ in her love and care for me as I go through this storm. God works that way, In life storms He goes through then with us, often in other people. We are not alone . Psalm 138 has been important to me as well. “The Lord will perfect all that concerns me.” A deep thought for sure. God be with you.
