Thank you for your responses. Eileen, my brother is very stubborn about sticking with his team of doctors (who are not in a CCC, much to my dismay).

Teresa, you offer just the encouragement I was hoping for. It's hard to believe that after such agressive treatments not all the cancer was destroyed. But I suppose your explanation is better than a recurrence. At any rate, he meets with his team of doctors tomorrow. After your husband had the neck dissection, did he have to have additional chemo?

I'm glad your husband continues to have good checkups, and I wish you both the best.

Thanks again for the information.
