Hello to all,
I'm new to the board in posting only, I've spent many hours here reading and researching. Always found good info and inspiration- thanks so much. Sometimes what I read was overwhelming and frightening but that is oral cancer, isn't it?
My husband has been diagnosed with recurrence of throat(pyriform sinus)cancer with mets to the lungs. This is 2 years after receiving radplat(intra-arterial chemo)and radiation. His treatment now is Erbitux weekly, Taxol/carboplatin every 3 weeks.
In a few weeks he gets a scan to see how the tumors have responded then we go from there.

I feel like I am in denial/la-la-land/zombieworld/ANGRY/and at a loss of energy. I keep saying chin up and do go on pretty well, I think, for the most part of day to day life.

I just need to vent, share and ASK this: How do you deal with hearing there is no cure-- at what point do you push the quality of life vs. treatment issue? We are optimistic, my husband and I keep positive thoughts but it is hard to not think about time limitations. The should-have done this or that differently is beating on me.
We've joined the club and are fighting the fight. Again.
Thanks
