Today we meet with the Oncologist to discuss his opinion on adding chemo to the radiation. Have myself armed with tons of questions and information that I have gathered. They want to use Erbitux once a week. Husband is at his dentist right now getting a deep cleaning on one side of his mouth and returns Monday for the other side. He has begun Flouride (sp?) already.
Thank goodness he has great dental health right now. I am so consumed, angry and frightened that I find it very difficult to function. I do what has to me done, try and smile but the tears keep flowing. And we have only just begun this journey.
I will try and figure out how to do a signature at the bottom of my posts, but I do not have all of the proper diagnosis info at hand. We have not been given a formal sheet of paper with that information, just what our ENT has told us verbally.

Thanks for reading andf all of you support.
