Thanks Christine. Unfortunately, I continue to get worse. And it's not for lack of seeing doctors or following their advice. I gained weight, I do mild exercise per a physical therapist, and take anti-biotic. All things the oncologist said to do. Plus I take supplements another doc suggested. But I continue to get worse.

Anyway, more tests were done. Maybe they will show something. I can't take this decline much longer. I can't afford a nursing home.


Squamous cell carcinoma base of tongue. Lymph involvement unclear; staging placed at "2 or 3." Biopsy 4/18/2008. Treatment: IMRT every day for 7 weeks. Cisplaten once a week to sensitize cancer to radiation. Treatment ended 7/16/08. PET/CT shows no more cancer.
