thank you all for your replies. We saw the Oncolacy dr. today and he is doing another scan and will then set up chemo.
Paul is very down in weight so they are concerned how he will handle it. they my chose to use Iressa first to buy him time to get in better shape for the real chemo. they are talking about some form of a combo drug.
He saw the swallowing center on Monday and they think once he gets his prosthetic device for his soft palate he will get back to swallowing some then.
He has check-up by surgon on Monday and also the dentist to do prothesis. We will be on the road alot this month but it is all worth it, if it helps.
Right now he needs to have one appt. a really good report. We seem to be haveing some kind of reocurrence with each visit. He is getting discouraged at this point so it is hard to keep his spirits up.
we wish we could come to Las Vegs in Sept. but finances are big issue at this point. We are anxious to hear all the raves from it. Again thank you for being there.
Shirley
