We went for another round of chemo yesterday. On the way into the treatment room he had to grab a chair to catch himself. They sent us home...too sick to treat. He says it isn't a feeling of dizziness, but that he feels weak like his legs are going to collapse under him. This has happened about twice at home this week too. I have a feeling the new tumor is pressing on something like the carotid artery. How will this thing shrink without the chemo?

I doubt if he is a candidate for more surgery. It might be that the new tumor is out of a previous radiation field. The IMRT is supposed to be so darn precise. The area with the tumor should be close to where they did the radiation from October to December. It's hard to believe any cancer cells could have survived in this vacinity.

Thanks for the good thoughts. We're sure open to suggestions about going forth with treatment.
