Thank You, I wish i could be of more help. My mom was being seen for therepy at http://www.bbivar.com/home.htm. I looked around at their website but did not see it mentioned there. Something I have found out is that u need to be your own advocate for you health. I did research for my mom trying to figure this all out, The doctors were always amazed at how much i knew. And i was amazed at some of there lack of knowledge. If your ent is not willing to give it a shot, Find one that will. It couldnt hurt anything. My mom was diagnosed back in 1993 with oral cancer. At that time she only had surgery. She was continued to be seen by her ent with a couple reaccurances through the years. (Both times ent did not see these, she pointed them out to him) ANd i dont think radiation or chemo was even mentioned. Approx two years ago she was hospitalized and diagnosed with rheaumatoid arthritis. She had swollen glands wich was a symptom of RA. She was continued to be seen by her same ent and he missed it. Last January she was diagnosed with stage IV SCC. In her throat. When I look back I think we shouldve switched doctors. He tried to tell us this was something new and not connected to previos cancer, I find that hard to believe Noing what i know now. Thanks to the OCF. My mom had many complications from treatment. She had radiation with chemo weekly followed by RND. At first she was hospitalized with electrolyte disorder where her sodium got dangerously low. and was hospitalized for 3 weeks. We got that straightened out And then she had radiation necrosis where her inscision came open ,she was thenm hospitalized at Kettering and had some sort of pec flap and had hbo treatments to help her heal. We were on the road to recovery and then she noticed she thought her sodium was going down again so we went to er, She died About 6 hrs later.We did not have an autopsy so i do not know the exact cause, I have to believe it was Gods way of sparing us from the road ahead. She was sceduled to have a pet scan the next week and we had already been told by ent that there was one node that he did not remove during surgery because it would involve removing her voicebox and it was out of the prevoius radiation field and she could have more radiation. She did not want more treatment. So all things happen for a reason , but it doesnt make it any easier. I am sorry I am ramblin. I just want to make sure u do what u believe is best for u. Thanks for listening. Sorry about my bad typing.
