My husband is set to begin IMRT and 3 Cisplatin treatments. His surgery last month removed the tonsil which showed negative margins though the tumor was within 2mm of one margin. ALso, when removing a series of lymph nodes there was one nodule of mattted nodes with extracapsular extension. The extension scares me.....hoping the chemo and radiation keep it from spreading. I have read a number of posts....still confused as to how this effects everyting. Thoughts out there???? Thanks for you help and guidence on this.....
