Hello Eshwar & Rahul
Hope you are doing well..!!
My father at age 74 ,was having on EARLIER stage right side Vocal Code throat cancer before a year. He survived from it by radiation therapy, after 6 months of treatment again in PET scan recurrence of tongue cancer, doctors prescribed oral chemo therapy, dose of Gefitinib 250 mg everyday.. coz as per Doctors at this age other chemo & operation are not possible. After 1 month taking medicine cancer was totally disappeared, as per radiation oncologist , he was also surprised , he said his response is very good... But after a month he was having pain in left side he used to take 4 pain killer in a day still he can not make it out...Now when we show the surgical oncologist he said its not gone, its just stop. And pain is roaming around everywhere..!! As per Doctors recurrence is always danger. We are very much on worry...taking 4-5 Dyclopara also effect kidney in future... Even he was not able to drink water, when he was eating something or drinks anything he gets IRRITATION & COUGH. Now IRRITATION & COUGH are decreased & he used to take 2-3 pain killer a day. Pain-clinic Doctor's also prescribed Dyclopara & Morphine 5-6 in a day but till now he didn't take... But now one new problem has started, He is having pain & some like a cramps in whole body.
Here i would say that he sleep whole day & used to get at 5-6 o clock in evening, after he is going to bed at 2 or 3 AM & still he can't get sleep till morning, what i mean to say his totally sleeping system has become odd...
what to do can't understand...what is exact status that also can't know coz doctor said no need to do PET Scan, one Medical Oncologist said his response is good so no need to do any Scan. Surgical Oncologist said Don't want to give him trouble in this age to doing any Scan. Radiation Oncologist said his response is good & Decease is not appear in tongue rt now but in same place in Vocal Code it feels, might be it is coz of post radiation but decease is there & coz of his good response he can survive life long...
So confuse from all Doctors & can't understand what to do...Rt now whole body crams & pain is the worry for us....
Thxs & Wish U all Good Luck....
