First my name is Jim Dockery - I am located in Michigan. My cousin and best friend was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 oral cancer - specifically base of the tounge that has spread to his lymph nodes. I have read a lot of information on here and am looking for a person that has undergone treatment for this condition.

He has started treatment with Taxotere, Fluorouracil ( 5 fluorouracil,5-FU ) and Erbitux.

He met with his radiation oncologist today and she painted a very bleak picture.

I think that was just her - he knows he has a battle but she seemed to take away his hope.

My request if possible is that someone on this board that would be willing to talk with him would contact me.

Any help anyone could give would be a blessing from God and he needs that right now.

Thank you in advance.
