Gary, I truly understand what you mean because my treatment is very similar to yours with about 6 weeks of radiation and 4 chemo treatments. No surgery. But we can't compare our situatin with Bob's since we have different types of cancer. Ours is tonsil and his is tongue,which may cause a total difference in treatment.
