It is hard not to second guess the first treatment when the cancer does come back. At least it was for me. I remain convinced that if I only had had Carboplatin instead of Erbitux, along with the radiation, it would not have come back.
Georgetown is a CCC and also one of the handful that will treat a patient with radiation three times, that is how good their radiology department works. I have been very happy with Dr Razavi, the prothodontist recommended by Georgetown and am off to see him today. He managed to keep all my teeth these last five years
You got out of the hospital much faster than I did. I was in for 12 days, due to not being able to swallow and needing a feeding tube put in.
Godspeed your recovery
