Sorry I wasn't more specific. A little history...My husband, Andy diagnosed in Feb. 2011 with SCC of tonsil and base of tongue. Treatment at Mayo clinic to remove tumors (clear margins) and neck dissection with removal of 70 lymph nodes of which 14 tested positive. Completed 3 cycles of Cisplatin concurrent with IMRT radiation. Returned after 6 wks. for pet scan which found bone mets. The pelvis was biopsied to confirm SCC. In treatment now for recurrence. Receiving carboplatin, Erbitux, and 5 F U.
Apologize for not knowing all of the abbreviations. Will try to learn them!
Appreciate any feedback very much. I just can't seem to find anyone with bone metastasis.
BTW...Montgomery, Alabama
