Well, today I started my first boost rad. 7 more to go. After 28 rad treatments the tumor can't be felt at all in my neck. Also had 7 taxol/carboplatin treatments. Hopefully they got everything and I am believing that they have. Can't wait till these final boost are done and I get scans to see what is there. The Rad has made my neck raw meat, but after reading what others have suffered I'm gratefull so far thats all that bothers me. I have dry mouth but other than that not much. This site has given me much needed support and advice. Thanks Brian for starting it. I would gladly send support but I'm on disability and have no extra funds but when things turn around I certianly will contribute.
