Hi Tami,

Her cancer is toward the back of her jaw bone area. They found the cancer by taking a biopsy of a suspicious area during one of her weekly follow up treatments.

My mom is 62, and they have decided to give her weekly injections of Docetaxel - instead of the one every three months. I think they want to go with a lower dose because she still has an open wound from her surgery - four flaps didn't take due to radiation.

I hope your mom is doing well, and her scans show positive signs. I know chemo is different for everyone, but how were your mom's symptoms?

Thanks,
Karen
