This is my 1st posting ever. My husband has tongue cancer and was cancer free for almost 3 years until this last Sept. He already underwent chemo/radiation with terrible side affects and bad results. I am sure all the same as what you are experiencing now.Cisplatin is a very nasty drug as well as Amaphostine. He has had many surgeries, partial glossectomies,jaw bone removal and most recently another round of chemo/radiation. This time the side affects have been remarkably more bearable- different doctor, drugs and facility. What a difference. His spirits remain pretty good but I have found this go around very difficult personally. Cancer is such a tremendous nightmare for everyone involved. It absorbs your very being-and yes, like being on another planet.
I wish you the best during this treatment. Since this is my 1st time posting on any site, I look forward to hearing from others. We live in a rural area and there is no support system anywhere close to us.
