Hi all
First I want to thank you because I learned a lot from reading from your personnal experiences and advices.
My brother (52 years old) was diagnosticed with oral cancer on his left tonsils and a metastase on a cervical ganglion in October 2013 .He since had 3 neck surgery couldn t get a clear margin and had radiation (70 Gy over 7 weeks) and 3 cycles of cisplatin.He just finished treatment didnt get Gfeeding -had to be hospitalised for severe pain and dehydratation.I just came back from visiting him and although he is weak I know he is going to gain his strength back.I can tell he is worried about the efficacy of the treatment and since there are no marker what are the best way to monitor that the cancer is not coming back.What is the schedule?and which test are done?Thank you so much for your answers.
