Hi Donna,

Thank you for the welcome. It is weird they didn't find the primary. It accounts for only 1-2% of head and neck cancers. They did plenty of biopsies too! My team seems to think my body eradicated the primary on it's own.

I start IMRT treatment Thursday the 14th and my first chemo infusion is Monday the 18th. The procedures I'm pretty squared away with. My mask is made and I'll be going through the simulation on Wednesday the 13th. I meet with my MO on Friday the 15th and I'll get the low down on the chemo. I already know I'll be in the chair for 4-6 hours.

As far as emotions? Too many to write down. It's been a roller coaster to say the least. I'm about as ready as I'm going to be and I'm going in eyes wide open.

I see you've been through quite a bit and you're a long time survivor smile It's always encouraging to see that. Thank you again for the welcome.
