Charm,


I don't have the capacity to make everything perfect, but I made MOSTLY logical points in my original post. If you are sincerely interested in educating me on my grammar, I will submit everything I write to you before posting it next time.

Otherwise, you can be sure I won't return to this area and your job is "done".


FIL completed treatment 10/08. CG to father in Law in india who had SCC oral tongue T2N2M0. FIL underwent surgery, neck dissection, IMRT, and erbitux without losing weight or getting nauseated. Completed October 2008. SO far so good.

The clear implication was that I had zero interest in being a grammar tutor. When you post what purport to be "documented and verifiable facts" and then repeat that assertion in a second post with an offer to provide proof only to finally fess up in a third post that they were exaggerations, the charitable assumption is that there is a grammatical reason instead of a deliberate buttressing of one's view with opinions misrepresented as facts. I stand corrected.

Marma, I don't think your father in law should have lost much weight at all. He might have had a sore throat and probaly some in the thraot area for a couple of weeks, but if you raed the post, the peole that lost weight big time lost all of the teeth , a good bit of tongue, parts of the floor of the mouth plus whatever else that had to go. NOw some even have jaw bone exposed and that hinders eating too. You can't get much nutrition if you don't have the equipment to swalow it right or chew food..anything tougher than a soft mush just doesn't work.


Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
