Thank you all so much. It was really good to hear that some of you or your loved ones had similar regimes. My husband has stage 3 tonsillar. So he had surgery, reconstruction, temporary tracheostomy (which he handles really well), 2 days ago, two weeks after his surgery he started Taxolol. He will have this for 3 weeks, then radiation for three weeks, then cisplatin/taxol and radiation for three weeks. So far so good! Thank you all for your responses and words of wisdom...it really is so helpful...Best, Sara
