Well we finally have a treatment plan for my husband. He will do 35 tx radiation, concurrent with weekly (Friday) Cisplatin. He starts Thursday of next week. I'm excited that we will finally be fighting, but also nervous for him. He thinks it will be no big deal and I've tried to calmly/matter of fact like tell him it may be tough, but he just doesn't want to deal with that right now. He's on a high from the PET Scan - it showed no metastases at this time!!
