He is a general superintendent with a large construction firm, and is known for his mouth! He was understandably very concerned about his future, if his voice was affected. After much consideration, he decided to have RAD and chemo, with no surgery. I'm glad to say that he is cancer free. Please.....consider, along with all options, the affect the treatment will have on you in the long run. There are many treatments available, and some "feel" right to the patient. Love you, Mandi Stage III tonsil, Dx 8/14/2002,chemo and rad...reoccurance 8/3/07,Base of Tongue,vocal cords,stage IVA,total larynectomy and glossectomy 9/4/07 with pec flap...reoccurance Nov. '08 and Feb. '09 (positive margins remained after each operation) Second pec flap May 7, 2009. Still positive margins.
