My daughter, 'Jordan',31y/o, has had a heck of a year. Radiation & chemo Jan/Feb. Docs thought they got it, long story short there was residual tumor. went to 2 different surgeons, took the one closest and at a good center. He couldn't resect when found involvement around the Carotid. Went to U. of Chicago and they went after it. Got it all, however when she went in for her reradiation/chemo CT showed new sites, including possible Lung Mets(which turned out to be pneumonia) She and her husband headed back today to begin her re-radiation and chemo. U of Chicago/Dr. Danial Haraf was one of the 'pioneers' for re-radiation I am told. Lots of serious complications possible with it. She had no risk factors and apparently a horrendously aggressive cancer. Best to you, go to a Cancer Center, SOON!
