Cheryl - oh my - you are very new at this since his diagnosis was just barely a month ago. I relate to your reaction exactly. I cried and cried while trying to find a place to get answers and information on people with head and neck cancer. Today, as you, I've stopped the crying (husbands diagnosis was 10/28/08) and I've begun an intense search for anything useful to help him fight this that I can find. What was your husbands diagnosis, grade etc.? Mine was T2N2bM1 grade 2 infiltrating moderately differentiated cells, which is very advanced. :-( The chemo has been tough (Taxol and Carboplatin) but he is getting through it one day at a time. The joint pain is pretty intense. Hope to hear from you soon......Brenda S
