I was exaggerating to make a point. My point got lost because the topic was out of context in an already long post. It should have been a separate thread, but I didn't (and still don't) have the energy.

Point taken!

FIL completed treatment 10/08. CG to father in Law in india who had SCC oral tongue T2N2M0. FIL underwent surgery, neck dissection, IMRT, and erbitux without losing weight or getting nauseated. Completed October 2008. SO far so good.
