Michael,

I had 9-hour surgery (tonsilectomy + RND), 33-radiations and 7 concurrent chemo (weekly cisplatin). 10 days before the radiation, I had 4 teeth pulled. During the radiation, I had a real bad infection, I was hospitalized to release the abesess (sp ?). The infection forced me to stop treatment for 9 days. My throat won't heal for three months, then Dr. ordered Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment.....

Many infections/inflammations I could not remember due to my allergic reaction to the plate in my jaw. After Dr. removed the plate 12 months later, everything took a good turn.....

I was 38 when diagonsed, now it has been three years.

You are in my preyers
