Hi everyone,
I don't know if anyone will read this because I haven't posted for a while. We went to NYC to find out about brachytherapy. Pretty neat trip, we were there on 9/11, his appointment was early on 9/12. He is not a candidate so we started chemo (cisplatin) and radiation on the 16th. He is supposed to have 6 chemo treatments and 35 radiation treatments. The radiation is regular not the imrt. First week done so far so good. He's tired but he can still eat and taste etc. He's got a sore throat now so I'm wondering how bad it will be for him by the time the end of treatment rolls around. We got the peg tube in the day before radiation started. I'm really thankful that he agreed to do it because of everything I'm reading. Does anyone know where I can get the biotene toothbrush and toothpaste?


husb dx 6/05 SCC base of tongue, neck dissection 8/05, 38 rads, 6 cisplatin chemo, completed 11/18/05 yeah!
