Hi Maria, it has been a difficult time but prior experience with my father's treatment is helping as we have retained the hospital and doctors.

My father has been discharged on 14th with vacuum suction drain each in both the neck and chest.

Just worried about Carotid artery, reirradiation (as it may be required) and any other distant metastasis as last PET was on 29th April.


Father; 67 yrs; RIP: 2012/05/26
