[quote=Cheryld]I would be asking if they're cetain it's oral cancer related. If it's not then oerhaps there is another chemo that this type of cancer reacts to. Rads to the neck area depending on location can also help. (She can be reradiated) but I would also want to know for sure that this is definitely OC related - dr.s automatically concluded it is but that's not always the case. A friends husband had
HPV related BOT cancer. They treated it, they found a nodule in his lung... Assumed it was SCC spread only to find out it was early stage lung cancer (small cell) he was treated for lung cancer and is is now NED.
Also there is a place in California that does tumor testing to see the best chemo to treat this with. Hugs. [/quote]
hey thanks. Do you know the place in CA? Also, wouldn't it depend on the chemo she has had in the past?
