Have not posted in a bit but am always thinking about Dad and reading everyones updates. All will be with Dad for Thanksgiving / hope I can blend up some of his favorites for his tube. I worry and wonder and get sad thinking this could be his last but really have no idea when the end will be. He seems to be functioning OK - trying to manage the pain with his cocktail of drugs; he will start his second round of RT on Monday ; the hope is it will shrink the tumor and ease the pain. Dr's give no hope of a cure.. All seem to think surgery is out ; my fear is that RT may be just as bad but what else can be done... wishing you all well


My Dad - 85 yrs old; 9/09 diagnosed T3NOMO; rad/low dose chemo; all clear; 6/10 - L retomolar trigone; more chemo; seems to have shrunk; 10/2010 back - significant ulcerative mass in the left retromolar trigone extending into the left tonsil
