No, his neck is like leather no surgeon will operate on him he has had 2 RND. They have told us there is no cure. Absolutely no more radiation as I think he has had too much already talked about getting him into trials but no openings right now. He has a scan on Thursday to see if chemo is shrinking. Initial scan after 1st round a couple months ago showed no big change In size. But they can only accurately measure one part of the tumor due to its location. Our options are very limited. I am very scared that this is the beginning of the end.
