Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 8,311 | OK the bio came back SCC+, Stage II to III, with no apparent mets. He went back to his old cancer doc who wants to start him on chemo (his wife couldn't recall the names) beginning one week prior to rad and ending one week post rad. Never heard of that and I'm still trying to find out what chemo(s) they plan to use. He's decided not to go to Moffitt for the rad; 45 miles one way and all that, etc. I'm still pushing them to get tested for HPV. We are meeting tomorrow with Dr P at Moffitt where I hope to learn a lot more. He's in constant pain and has already started supplementing his diet with VHC. I hope this goes smoother than I suspect because I'm beginning to get a bad feeling.
