Did 6 weeks of once a week chemo Erbitux carboplatin Taxol
Then 2 week rest

Then 7 weeks of radiation ith double sessions on fridays
plus dailey chemo Cisplatin on weeks 1 4 and 7

Drove myself 60 mile roundtrip the whole time

But like ive read i feel the worst now that treatment stopped

Darkest before the dawn i guess.

I got all the bad crap massive amounts of mucous sores on tongue and back of throat.

I have a feeding tube but cant get in 6 cans of food and 48 oz of water even taking all day uing the feeding pump on slow
i think my stomach has shrunk o much.

I got a home IV Care set up today o i can give myelf a dag of fluid every day so i can maybe get more food in my peg tube.

Anyway i made it this far thanks alot to all the people who post their experiences here
