Ok, so Jordan has had a really rocky road the past few weeks. But cancer is gone and wide clean margins. They at U. of Chicago are recommending radiation and chemo follow up due to the perineural and perivascular invasion. We absolutely trust them here, but have questions. YES, I will talk w/ the Doctors again. I am told that w/ perineural and perivascular invasion the cancer cells could have bounced around and could move. So, what will they radiate. I can totally see chemo.....but she lost her Left carotid in the surgery, and her Right external burst and she nearly bled to death after the big surgery for tongue. NOW, what exactly do any of you understand about this peri stuff?
Brian, I emailed you a couple weeks ago for info, I'm sure you are busy, but really would like some input/education/site to learn from.....
Thanks, friends....I miss Petey........ frown

She fought the fight with courage, hope and dedication. Ten months of battling tongue cancer. They thought they had it after each treatment. Not to be. Christa died at 32 y/o in Nov. '07.
