Hello all,
The PET scan shows cancer in the cheek (3cm), throat(4cm) and a few small nodes in the lungs. He was very confident that radiation and chemo would handle the situation. Can this type of cancer be eliminated without surgery? I was not there with them at the appointment so I have a thousand questions. The ENT did tell them that chemo and radiation would not be easy and their days would be full of appointments. My mom is just so glad to have a bit of good news. Yesterday, I could hear the desperation in her voice.


Daughter of father (71) who has SCC in cheek, hyoid bone and lungs. 3 X paclitaxol and carboplatin every 21 days.
