I had 2 rad of scheduled 35 + 7 scheduled chemo in April
I am 82. I got very sick after 2 rad. Could not walk, pain, threw up 2 days and left Md Anderson. Been on holistic going back and forth with supplements and meds with some only available there. Different treatments and 2 separate Dendredic blood treatments. Pet scan in beginning was SUV of throat tumor (visible) 22, and 2 lymph nodes with each 10.
July 27 Pet scan was tumor 10 and lymph’s each 5. Next scheduled Dec. I am having some bleeding issues at night from tumor with mucus. I feel pretty good and eating good and very little throat pain. Very confused of what to do now as I do not want to do Rad and not reading good things on chemo. I just get tired but may be age. Considering going somewhere in states. Have talked with 2 cancer docs and both said get full blown Rad and chemo 35-7.
