Thanks so much for all your advice. I really appreciate it!

Gary - his treatment is: radiation 5 x's a week for 7 weeks and Cisplatin 3 times (100 mg) 3 weeks between chemo treatments.
We also got him in a clinical trial for HMPL-002 (a Chinese herb).
The doctors say they will do a neck disection once the lymph nodes have shrunk from the radiation, he has two lymph nodes affected on the right and one on the left (that we know of right now) the one on the left is very large, it was measured originally at 5 x 6 cm, but has grown significantly since the time they measured it on the CAT scan.

Thanks again! I am so glad I found this site...I am going through reading everything I can!
