Welcome son of patient!

I just mentioned you in another post with a new member, who has PNI in the tongue found after surgery. I asked they contact you if they get a chance.

I’ve had PNI two or three different times, i forget, and was able to beat it last time, so far! There is still much to be learned about this type of cancer, and not too sure how much they accomplished since mine? You may know more than me, as I don’t recall discussing it much here since, and had to think twice before posting, and seems so long ago (a good thing).

It’s probably not done everywhere, but I had my PNI resected with a radical neck dissection in 2012, and High Dose Intraoperative Radiation done during sugery. This was the first part, and after 4-6 weeks recovering, I had chemo, Erbitux and taxotere, along with IMRT radiation.

My second PNI was almost a year later, after a resection with my carotid, did the same radical neck dissection after testing, and IORT, but was sent for Proton Radiation with Carboplatin about 6 weeks later, which seemed to do the trick! Tomorrow I go for my 6 month PET/CT.

I just realized the time, so I hope this little bit helps!

Good Luck!
