I have my teratment in Center for Advanced center (Lutheran General Hospital -IL)
I had I can say 2,5 surgeries
First January 08'-they removed this horrible thing from my tongue-one week after this they got results -SCC
Next March 08'-I had surgery they removed all tumor from my tongue and they also removed 3 lymph nodes from my neck(negative)
After this I've started my radiation in April,but after three radiations i've noticed that somothings wrong is with my neck-I had bump in the same place where they removed my three lyph nodes.I had bipsy,my doctor thought that this is fluid from my last surgery,but It was SCC.So I had my third surgery in May 08'-radical neck dissection.After this they put in PEG tube and next day (05.22.08) I had my first radiation and first chemo.I finished my treatment in June 08'
In November 08' I had pet scan and after this bipsy.My doctor told me that I have secon spread this time in my left lung.
12.05.2008 I've started my 2 cycles chemo (Erbitux and docetaxel)
yesterday i had my fifth chemo ,three more and I will have ct scan-so wish me good luck:)
