At 17 weeks post Taxotere/Erbitux and radiation treatment. My husbands pain is still at a 10+. On 100mcg fentynal, percocet and vicodin. Along with otc ibuprofen, tylenol and lidocaine. Anyone experienced this? How long can the suffering continue?
3/12 TX-Taxotere & Erbutux(6 doses)& 35 IMRT radiations. Taxotere/Erbutux were fairly new combo to treat SCC base of tongue,(possible cause Virus). Not a smoker or drinker. PEG in 6 weeks post TX for malnutrition. No eating still at 17 wks post due to pain and mucositis on tongue & tumor site.
