Jerry,
It sounds like our stories are quite similar, I hope for as wonderful an outcome as you have enjoyed. Having been around head/neck CA patients all my nursing career, it is a disease that truly needs a spokesperson and advocate. I have administered chemo to some very advanced stage head/neck and it is much more prevalent than most realize. We were just talking at work, just prior to my diagnosis, how many patients that have been coming in recently with head/neck ca. I am excited to surround myself in a forum, and that we are"all in this together". This diagnosis is nothing I could have ever imagined for myself(breast ca much more understandable). I have no personal relationship with anyone that has gone through this but I have watched the strength and faith of my patients and pray I can exhibit even 1/2 the strength that some of them have. Thank you for including me and I look forward to giving my insight and knowledge in any way I can.
