Why is it that the Emoticons just don't have what I need...?
Beloved husband Ron was diagnosed on 11/23 with a cancer on the back of his tongue, which has spread to his left lymph node(s) (T2N2b). He's 67, never smoked or drank to excess... It all begins.
Never thought I'd be here, but know that in the months to come while we go through his stages of treatment, I'll be seeing messages that will be full of support and hope, and getting ANSWERS from those who know first-hand what is happening to/with us. An online community like this one is just what I was looking for.
We came back from the CCC in Los Angeles today, and his treatment plan is for chemo (3) and radiation (40?) over two months, beginning just as soon as we can get the dental stuff done, and the PET scan. He has a dental appt. tomorrow back in LA, and will get the PET scan done on the 30th in Ontario.
All this new terminology, issues, decisions. I'm no different in that I am really tired and feeling overwhelmed right now. Thanks for listening.
