Thanks Donna. You are so right, each Cancer, and person, even hospital and doctors experiences are all different. This Cancer is persistent! I'm even getting confused with the recurrences.

10/09..Dx tonsil primary, BOT, Valleculla, 3 bilateral lymph nodes. Had induction chemo. Too sick to complete treatment, in hospital nursing home 6 months.

7/10.finally able to get a PET..Clear! 5 days chemo in 09 killed everything

10/10 Cancer free was short lived, it's back. two left lymph nodes, one which was new

2/11 35 IMRT, after teeth removed. chemo denied

7/22 30 HBO treatments did to infection, abscess, necrosis in jaw, back molar

7/11 Cancer still in left lymph node, another new one left side. Chemo, radiation denied

10/11 radical left neck dissection levels II-V. Cancer found in neck muscle removed. Chemo, and rads denied.

2/12 All Clear PET scan!

5/12 Cancer returns to level V. Lymph node or roaming cancer, had RND, so not much left. Two days before surgery on 6/22 Another cancer was found in level III left neck, and removed during surgery. Pathology says no clear margins, and perineural and Lumlho vascular invasion. Cancer likey to return. Chemo, Erbitux, rads denied by RO, and MO.

6/12 seeking other options. MSSM will do Erbitix, IMRT

I made a mistake, I had 4 recurrences, who is counting.
