I am sorry it has taken so long, but as you all know, life gets kind of hectic between radiation, chemo and trying to keep him working.

He got the Miracle mouthwash. Works a little, but there has been another side effect pop up yesterday! He has a numbness in the chin/lip at center point, all the way over to the left jaw muscle. :o(

We think it might be a side effect from Cisplatin, Trimeginal Neuralgia. Had to get a Dentist opinion and abscess is unlikely with the numbness in lip.

They will likely change his chemo med. He had a 4cm node removed and found primary on tonsil. ENT is convinced that he got it all! He said they were both well-differentiated and he took large margins when he removed them as well as took several other nodes at the same time, no cancer found there...

Thank you all for the welcome! I will now take my posts to the appropriate subforums!

BTW: I have Tom the message from davidcpa. He is slow to warm, but think he will be contacting the board soon. He needs to!!
