Hi Bill,

I don't usuallt post answers; I have been the one asking questions. I am trying to be one of the helpful ones on here. Welcome. You will find a lot of support in these forums. It seems like you are stage IV. According to the NCCN guidelines. I will be happy to send you a copy of this. Email me at [email protected] and I will reply with a copy.

BY the way, it is possible for you to live through this; life is not over! That seems to be, from my reading, the hardest thing to accept, is that life IS NOT at a halt. I am new to these forums (I also use rdoc.org for head and neck cancer in UK and it has a lot of help). You are welcome to email me but there are many members here more knowledgeable than I.

Biotene products will be helpful for you. Google it. It's also somewhere on the site.

I am here for my father in law who is also stage IV and will go through his rads in about another month. I'm in India.

There is no way to see this that isn't challenging, it's not easy. I hope that you will find comfort in your loved ones who are near and be here as long as possible.
