Please see my response to post to Newly diagnosed from cyndie52. All I can advise it what my sister's experience was. My personal feeling it do what you can to remove every cancer cell in your body. This is an aggressive cancer, and any reoccurence is not good. Hit it with everything you can at the start. My sister was concerned with the after affects and quality of life with going through the radiation. She lost the battle, perhaps by delaying the radiation, no one will know. I just know I miss her deeply and no one will replace the hole in my heart. Everyone needs to decide the quality to life they will accept.....my best wishes to you.
Caregiver to sister Connie, dx 2005, scc tongue, 4 surgeries inc. radical left side neck dissection 7/06, 35 IMRT, and 7 cisplatin 2/07, passed away 8-11-07, 51 yrs. young, fought with courage, strength and grace, found peace on her new journey.
