Hi, I am Karen, wife to Kevin age 49 who has stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma, primary base of tongue, spread to neck lymph nodes. He is 12 days out of treatment--1 round cisplatin (stopped because of hearing loss) and 5 rounds carboplatin and taxol. Simultaneously, he had 35 radiation treatments.

He is in a rugged place with lots of vomiting and throat pain, but today is a better day than the weekend, so I guess it is a good day.
