Is your son being treated at a Major Cancer Center? You want someone who sees alot of this type of cancer. It is a very unforgiving diaease. A team of experts that determine his best course of treatment. We are all different and react differentely to similier treatment.
Was or is your son a chewer? So unusually to see this cancer in someone so young. Please continue to post his progress and I hope you all the best as you start a frightful journey. Many of us have traveled the road ahead of him and survived, He can to!!!
All my best, Danny Boy
Did you get a second opinion from anyone else? It's a good idea if you haven't. Starting radiation so soon makes me wonder.
