Please let us know how you are doing. Joe has been doing standard 7 weeks radiation with chemotherapy once a week. He has 2 weeks left. Radiation takes 10 minutes, chemotherapy 6 hours. Due to the fact that he had tonsillectomy , neck dissection with tumor removal and TORS they have been able to tailor radiator to a very small area. It has gone much better than expected. He gets chemo brain/ fog for a few days , he is tired but didn’t lose his sense of taste until this week. We can see the end. Hope this helps.MAC andJAC

The Dr decided on a much less invasive surgery than I thought I was having. Today I had the right side tonsil removed and biopsies of the back of the tongue. No TORS. Looking for a primary that we may never find. Results in 5 days to see where this path leads.
It sounds like Joe is doing great with you by his side! Keep up the good news.

Tonsil and tongue were both negative for cancer cells. A month later I had a neck dissection with 18 lymph nodes sent to pathology. Again negative. I have a CT with contrast scheduled Dec 8 & a PET scan Feb 10. I did not do any chemo or radiation. If anything shows up on these scans then it will be off to radiation. What have you done since August?
