Eric-

Will definately be sending prayers your way to help you through this second go around! After all of this talk about MD Anderson please fill us in on the treatments/drugs they are hitting you with. I guess I'm in "compare mode" and am curious if the Univ of WA is on the same treatment plan for this stage. Best of luck to you!! - Kris

Kris -- actually I am doing my treatments in Phx, but the folks at MD Anderson prescribed the same plan as my Phx docs -- cisplatin chemo (once every three weeks, 2 or 3 times) plus IMRT radiation to my lower neck (both sides)... I got nauscious (spelling?) this morning just thinking about chemo. That's not a good sign...

I like your sig -- every day is truly a gift...
