Hello everyone
I finally have some dates
I will be starting seven weeks of radiation plus a regiment of chemo on Jan 2 03 I will be staying in the hospital but only overnight because chemo (cisplatin) will last about 5 hrs and make me sick. I'll have chemo once every 3 weeks for three treatments and radiation every day for seven weeks doctor said that should hopefully do it. And around Jan 17 will be having surgery to install a feeding tube In my stomach that will stay in for about 4 months, it will be a rough start to 2003 but with faith from all of you I will get through it. I'll stay in touch and try to share my experiences with you all.
God Bless
