So sorry the hear these results. Hopefully your fathers cancer will respond to chemo . As for my mother she had 2 five day treatments of Cisplatin with F5U. My mother couldn't tolerate it . She became very sick and had to be hospitalized . A CT scan was done and my mothers cancer spread more through her neck even with the chemo .

At this point we are making a change. I have made an appointment with MD Anderson for this coming Monday January 5.

I feel that my mother has gone through 2 surgeries and taken 35 radiation treatments and 2 rounds of Chemo and it didn't help her at all . The doctors did what they could and the hospital was very nice BUT ITS TIME TO MOVE ON . When the case is complicated A Comprehensive Cancer Center is the best move .

I can't see the doctors steady pumping my mom up with different types of treatment and ruining any chances of getting a possible treatment that may work elsewhere .

ConcernedDaughter Is your father at a Comprehensive Cancer Center? If not then my opinion would be getting him to one ASAP . I have herd good results from MD Anderson and Head and Neck Cancers.


Best of luck and prayers to your father
