He has base of tongue with Mets to lymph node, HPV +. I did ask but our radiologist oncologist said he would not qualify because it was base of tongue and no where for protons to bounce off of. They do not offer it at Hopkins until this September but university of Maryland does (both in Baltimore). Now I see others with tonsil and BOT getting it. Feel like I may have been lied to because they don’t offer it yet
Wife and cheerleader. Right sided BOT dx 2/25, surgery 3/7 for tumor removal (clean margins) 2 lymph nodes 1 pos for ECE (ugh), pT2N1M0 HPV POSITIVE (one small blessing in this nightmare), Stage changed to Stage 1 due to diffuse and large HPV status. tx plan 33 radiation, 5 cisplatin chemo to begin 4/12.
