It's been a while since I've been here although I have read many posts searching for information. My husband was diagnosed in June with floor of mouth with metastatic nodes in the neck. In October he had a follow up PET following 7 weeks of radiation and chemo. The results of the PET showed lesions in upper and lower lobes of the lungs, T7, right hip/sacrum/pubis. He has spinal cord compression. He was over medicated for an MRI of the spine and ended up in the MICU. He got better from that ordeal and underwent 5 radiation treatments. He is currently on Erbitux, 5 FU and cisplatin. He missed a couple treatments due to pancytopenia.

His disease has progressed very fast. Just reaching out to someone who has experienced the same. He was very limited prior to this diagnosis due to longstanding back problems. He is unable to help at all with any activities of daily living. When will we know the proper time for Hospice.
