OK guys!!!! Just so you all know if you read everyone elses posts other than my idiotic 1st post then we can stop the ripping! lol, I have gone to Moffitt and have decided to go with the radiation treatment full blown on left, tongue and right side regardless of what my ENT says! I was very naive and trying to take the easy road thru this, I have now accepted that there is no easy road and I would rather deal with all the side effect down the road then not! I will be starting radiation in Approx 2 weeks. and most likely (still havent fully decided) concurrent treatments of Cisplatin X 3 or 6 smaller doses! Thanks for all who responded! This thread should be saved and automatically read by any new member that signs on here....lol! Will keep you all informed!
