Correction on my last post. He's not getting treatment yet. He's hooked up with the radiation oncologist and they'll do a scan in the next few days to determine whether radiation to the brain should also be included. Also discussion about whether low dose chemotherapy should be applied while radiation is ongoing. But his appointment with the chemo doctor is still 2 weeks away. So I just reemphasized my concern about the slow pace of things. His surgery and pathology results were nearly 5 weeks ago.
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. |
