Hi Paul,
After my son's chemo, CT scan revealed residual neck lymphnodes , size reduced from 5 to 3.2 and tonsil ca gone.
However the onco was not sure what to do next so he moved on to another team that suggested chemoradiation: 6 low dose cisplatin and 34 IMRT. After 2 cycles of cisplatin, he cannot do it anymore. He was nauseated all the time which continued to the present even without having chemo for 2 weeks already. The rad onco said it was not a side effect of RT. My son is not able to eat well and drink and the doc was not recommending peg tube because according to him, no one has ever put a pegtube when undergoing RT in the country where he lives.
