You sound just like me! I haven't given up hope on my Dad, he was diagnosed in 2012. Had radiation & again irradiated this summer, a year after his previous radiation. Didn't stop it since it has metastasized to his hip bone & now scalp! He has 2 bumps on his scalp that are getting bigger. Dr's wanted to do a bone biopsy to confirm metastasis but we decided against it since I'm worried of it spreading quicker. My Dad argued with his oncologist last week and pretty much fired him. MO is head of the H&N dept here in Georgia at the best one in Georgia! So, we had gotten another opinion at MDA in Houston and now are trying to get him into a clinical trial there. So, I have faith that there is something else we can do. I'm not giving up and neither should you, but do go seek other opinions. His MO has the same clinical trial here and doesn't want to put him into it because he's not active enough. Yet at MDA they are trying to get him in. I'm just praying he gets in and he starts treatment soon! Praying for you & your Dad!
