I saw my friend and his family today, he has started radiation treatments, about an hour's drive from home. Treatment plan calls for six weeks. No chemotherapy that I'm aware of. Hopefully this is the right approach for what he's got.


57 year old male friend had salivary gland removed with a 5cm tumor on June 7, 2013. A smoker. Pathology states "consistent with a metastatic small cell or neuroendocrine carcinoma of unknown primary." Margins appear clear. I'm trying to help get him into proper and prompt treatment.
