My care was top of the line at a CCC and very aggressive yet my cancer came back within a year. Just wanted to be explicit and validate your thoughts above in that quote from your post. Being pregnant with twins sounds like a good reason to me to let your sister take the lead back then. charm 65 yr Old Frack Stage IV BOT T3N2M0 HPV 16+ 2007:72GY IMRT(40) 8 ERBITUX No PEG 2008:CANCER BACK Salvage Surgery 25GY-CyberKnife(5) 3 Carboplatin Apaghia /G button 2012: CANCER BACK -left tonsilar fossa 40GY-CyberKnife(5) 3 Carboplatin Passed away 4-29-13
