Thanks for all the advice....
My HPV is Positive! So from what I have read that is a good thing.
I have taken my first chemo on 09/04/12 and started IMRT yesterday on 09/05/12 and today. I will have 35 days (7 weeks) of radiation and every Monday will have a chemo TX of taxol and carbolatin. The doctor said the chemo is 1/4 doses so my hair shouldn't fall out and I should get little nausea, but the nurse said that was not really correct. I don't care about my hair, not a Whole lot up there anyways and it should grow back.
My wife is taken care of me very well but I am not really seeing any effects from the rad or chem yet. (well a little constipation)...
Oh, the doc did say that I had clear margins also... Praise the Lord!
Also started the fluoride trays last week, twice a day.
I will post more later. Thanks again everyone.
Oh. ps. I have asked them to schedule my peg tube within the next 2 weeks and perhaps a port... not sure on the port as I only have 5 chemo's to go?
