Gail, I don't know if was tested for HPV, but I plan to ask him. His tumor is on the underpart of his tongue towards the back.

I have been reading about the side effects and they certainly sound awful. For all of you who have gone through this and those who have supported patients, you are simply terrific.

I didn't realize that the peg tube was that easy to insert. That might make a difference with Joe's decision. Thanks for the information!
