Oscar,
My husband is only being treated with radiation. He had a 3.5cm lymph node removed from his neck which was secondary site. Primary was a small tumor at base of tongue. Tumor was not removed. We had 2nd opinion with head & neck specialist at Rush Medical. Specialist said no chemo was necessary. Keith is doing 35 rad tx and had 17 on Friday. He is really feeling bad; had PEG put in on Monday. I think each case is different. Ask lots of questions and get 2nd opinions.
Good luck to you,
Cat
