Thank you, ChristineB and Mamacita. The node showed HPV neg. I am going to take cisplatin (3x) and rads 7 weeks. Am I better off without the surgery at this point? How likely am I to losing my saliva capabilities? It has been almost 3 mos. from my diagnosis, and no treatment yet. Will the cancer spread soon? I had a second petscan on 9/18 which showed it is still just in the node. What about supplements during treatments. Too many questions- Calhoun
