Joined: Jun 2015 Posts: 25 | Met with team at Sloan today (yesterday's meeting was with surgeon at NYU). The MO is confident induction chemo is a good treatment plan for me---the tumor is extremely aggressive. The team says if it responds to chemo and shrinks that's a good indication that it will respond to radiation. I am meeting with the ENT from NYU again tomorrow but this time with the MO and RO.
