Hello @crboggs3 Charles, welcome to the Head and Neck Cancer group. Although this is probably the last place anyone would hope to be, nevertheless here we are.
Half the battle is getting good care so at least this part is under control. We often tend to put things off either not wanting to deal with a health issue or hopes that it will just go away. Since that approach doesn’t work well the next step is Dr. Google. Your own research into specific issues relayed from your doctors is wise from reputable sources. We should all learn as much as we can about our situation. Just try to ignore the fluff out there.
I wish you good healing. If you have questions about tests, treatments, side effects or whatever just ask.
Is everything going on schedule? Are you managing life okay with treatments?

Hello @crboggs3 and @trte300.
As our moderator has stated, this is a great place to be, and yet it isn't...No one wants to have cancer, right? My cancer was in the throat--Pyriform Sinus--near the vocal cords. A mild sore throat began turning into an earache on the same side, then the pain worsened. After many misdiagnoses, a University Doctor finally got it right. That was in 2018, so it has been a few years now. At age 64, they say the cancer is gone, yet that fear is always there. I sincerely hope and pray that all goes well with you both. You are in the right place.

How are you doing, Charles? When will you start immunotherapy?
