Marvin had his apt. with the chemo doctor today. She will be starting him on a low dose of taxol and carboplatin. They dont want him on cisplatin because he already has hearing loss and they dont want to chance him losing more. They will do this every tuesday while he is doing his radation treatments. He will be getting his port in on next tuesday before we meet with the rad dept. They are also going to schedule for him to have a feeding tube put in just incase he will need it. They said he is stage IVA T2 N2. Will post more after tuesday visit next week. I am not sure what all the codes mine the t2 n2 but that is what they said to us.
