I'm now two weeks post second chemo and again, doing quite well. Eating pretty much what I want, back to work, back to bicycling to work, back to the gym (gently). I'll risk it and say that this treatment (if it's working) is much easier than my original tonsil SCC treatment was.

I should learn the results of last week's CT scan Thursday night. Hoping it will confirm that this is working!

The one more round of chemo starting Friday afternoon for 5 days.
