Hey thanks Anita, Was your husbands tumors HPV+? I think that's where things get gray. My understanding is because the research is starting to show that HPV+ tumors respond so well; they are recommending not using combined therapy if not needed. Also from I read it was if the margins were positive?

I don't know I'm 38 and I'm a nurse so I know that every medication has side effects posted and not everyone will get the same side effects. I guess I 'll have to wait and see what Memorial Sloan says for the Tie breaker! Thanks!
