Hello,

My husband had a recurrence of his tongue cancer this past September. It's taken over his tongue but thankfully it hasn't metasticized anywhere else. We were told his doctors want to do induction chemo for three months and then do an evaluation to see if the tumor shrank enough for another, less invasive surgery. We were told the two chemo drugs he would be given were proven very effective with head and neck cancers. Unfortunately, Norman's oncologist at MD Anderson was French and very hard to understand. For the life of us, we can't recall the names of these two chemo drugs. Those of you who've gone through this, any thought what the drugs might be and if so, their side effects? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
