I appreciate being a part of this board. I have
so many issues, it is overwhelming. My husband
was diagnoised last on 2/28 to tonsilliar cancer
T3N1M0. We are preparing (he is dragging his
feet) for teeth removal, peg tube. He is to
have 7 weeks of radiation with chemo given along
the way. He has HEP C as well. He could NOT
tolerate the drugs (similiar to chemo) for
treatment of Hep. C. His blood count dropped and
he had to stop treatment. Why should I think
this will be any different????

Has anyone heard of Proton Radiation? I had
a friend with prostrate cancer and he elected
Proton Radiation for Loma Linda University
in California. There are no side effects from
this type treatment. He is cancer free and has
been for several years. I contacted the
University and sent his records for their review.
They responded by saying that he could have
the Proton and would also have to have regular
radiation, but no chemo???

I need some help and suggests or other options.
He is 48 years old.....

Thanks for your time!!!
