OP Supporting Member (50+ posts) Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 60 | I will begin a clinical trial today at Johns Hopkins; it is a deescalation study/my tumor will get the same amount of radiation but the surrounding tissue will get less. Purpose is to decrease negative effects of radiation. I feel a little nervous (will the decrease in radiation not get all of the cancer cells lurking there) but am hopeful I will have a good outcome. Has anyone else had experience with a clinical trial?
Susan/59/nonsmoker /tonsil cancer spread to tongue,stage III diagnosed 6/10, HPV+ T3,N1 Finished 35 radiation and 7 cisplatin 9/7/10.
