My husband is doing his second bolus cisplatin with emend today. He has had 14 radiation treatments to his neck. Had a tumor removed in his lymph node prior to beginning tx. This is what dx as SCC Stage IV - no primary. Now a tumor has suddenly appeared on the other side of his neck. Has anyone ever had experience with this? The doc is doing a scan tomorrow but thinks it might be dead cancer cells liquifying???? HUH?
