Husband sees Medical Oncologist and Radiation Oncologist tomorrow Aug. 4.
Pyriform Sinus Squamous Cell cancer was found. Metastasis to lymph nodes. ENT who did biopsy and mass debulking says it Stage 4.
Anyone have this? Care to share your experience and treatment?

Welcome, @preyn, you've come to the right place to connect with other members who have experience with pyriform sinus carcinoma and hypopharyngeal cancer, like @thomason @tiatia11 @anonymous217382 and others.

It sounds like tomorrow is a consultation with your cancer care team to discuss treatment options and plan forward. Is that right?
Have you started a list of questions?

Hello @preyn. I am a 64-year-old-woman, diagnosed with Pyriform Sinus cancer in 2018. If you go onto my profile, I have written extensively about my journey. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. It is a slow journey to recover the functions of the throat after treatment, yet is very possible with throat exercises, and the best one of all...time. Please research "Red Light Therapy," as it has proven to help radiated tissue. I utilized a small, inexpensive wand twice-a-day during my radiation treatments, by waving it inside my throat and mouth area. The main thing that helped me greatly was prayer. Best wishes to you and your husband in this journey.
