Hi Debra,

I just posted your last message. Ditto to what Nelie says.

The feeling your husband has is normal for what he is going through. It is tough road but he can at least know it will bve done fairly soon. The last week is hard, but I perked up a littel becasue I knew treatment was ending and I could begin top heal. It will take a long time to fully recover. I'm two years out and still feel the effects. Have they checked his TSH. His thyroid is probably fried by now. Synthroid really helped my overall mood and energy. You should know, I was on the PEG from the middle of October to Jan 29th. For some others the tube stays longer, others are able to eat much sooner. It is a testament to his fortitude that he just began to use the tube. Right now, he needs your strenght to help him fight.


SCC, base of tongue, 2 lymph nodes, stage 3/4. 35 X's IMRT radiation, chemo: Cisplatin x 2, 5FU x2, & Taxol x2. Hooray, after 3 years I'm in still in remission.
