Thank you Paan. I just logged on today and read your welcome.
Had been really busy in a second clinical trial for several months, now stopped because of mets.
Also had to undergo a tracheostomy awhile back-now can no longer speak.
I should be checking here more often as I wait for next Oncology visit, I think only repeating chemo for the 4th time, after two immunotherapy trials also, is my only option.
It helps to read, you are correct. I hope this finds you well!


HPV 16 positive October 2020.
Since diagnosis, have had 3 courses of radiation therapy, including IMRT, and chemotherapy, as well as one immunotherapy/trial that possibly caused locked jaw and was stopped.
I am currently in second/new immunotherapy trail (2/2023)
I had neck lymph nodes removed surgically (6/2021)
I have a chest port.
I now have PEG tube, February, 2023 after a failed swallow study and am NPO. Weight loss 145 lbs.
Married 36 years, two great chidden and wife are all supportive.
