Hello,
It has been a while since I have posted so let me update you. I have been recouperating from the lung surgery I had 2 months ago, I had 8 nodules removed from my right lung and 4 lymph nodes from my chest. It was all metastisis from my tongue cancer. My lung surgeon said he could not guarantee he got it all and recommended me to a medical oncologist for chemo. Yesterday I went to the oncologist expecting to get going on chemo, she looked at old CT scans and said that I still have a nodule in my left lung and she won't do anything if I still have nodules popping up like dandelions. She said that chemo does not work on Head and Neck patients and the only reason I got the lung surgery was because I am young. So the next step is to have another CT (Aug 26) and then I am to meet with surgeon and oncologist at the same time.

I can't keep going thru lung surgeries. I don't understand why everyone in the US gets chemo, yet the doctors in Toronto at a major cancer center (Princess Margaret Hospital) say that chemo does not work for Head and Neck cancer. Has anyone heard of this?
