Thank you for sharing your husband's story with me. You must be so relieved that his scans are coming back clear. Yes, I was told the HPV+ tumors respond well to treatment. Glad we have something in our favor. I am not happy about having the feeding tube put in on Friday, but who is? Please accept all the positive thoughts I am sending. Best, Michelle

SCC left tonsil, stage IV, HPV+, metastatic to one lymph node. Biopsy 12/23/10; tonsillectomy 1/13/11; DX 1/25/11; Peg in 1/28/11. Peg out 6/29. TX 1/31/11-3/21/11: 35 IMRT plus 3 Cisplatin. Pet-Scan 6/20/11 = CLEAR! Three years out, learning to live with the long-term side effects of radiation while reminding myself to feel blessed.
