Thanks for your replies. I have a dental appointment for tomorrow for basically a health clearance. I had just been to the dentist in November. I go twice a year for dental checks and have had good visits for many years. I have heard about the creams. I believe the Silver Sufadiazine was what my husband used when he got his skin/thigh pulled off by a belt sander...yikes!
I am trying to do my best to eat. I know the stress is not helping so I have to go for it. I usually eat very little. I also purchased the Carnation drink, 560 calories. I was thinking it would help to have some experience with it. I have also been given on a temporary basis a Vita mixer which you can basically make a drink out of everything so I will play around with that also.
Dr. Ridge said no surgery...too much damage to the tongue.
No news yet about HPV but doctor's are leaning toward it being a positive.
I will write more about Clinical Trial for HPV positive tumors, it is a national trial. I am choosing not to participate due to the extended time of treatment, and extended chemo.
Better yet here is a link to read more about the trial:http://cancer.gov/clinicaltrials/

Thanks for your help and support.
