He's the Evil Kenieval of life mishaps and has one of the highest tolerances to pain I've seen, and it's hard to keep him on meds but our experience urges me to suggest that you research your meds and be prophylactic with them. His CCC is very vigilant about this and encourgages swallowing as much as possible, and as an observer I can share the fatigue limits physical work, but exercise is critical.
Caco CG to Dad. Biopsy 5/11 non-op, SCC stage IV poorly dif at base of tongue with nodes, quit smoking in '85, ChemoRad began 8/2/11 ended 9/22/11 with NED. Distant mets 11/11, clinical trials. War raging on!
