Okay, 4 pages into your intial thread, I want to apologize to you directly for "hijacking" your thread. I hope your radiation on Jan 31 goes well. Please let us know how you are doing. Just open a new thread on your radiation and I promise I will only post relevant things to your particular issue. On the plus side, you have seen the full debate on how aggressive TX should be. In rereading all the posts, the consensus is that we would do chemo as well as the radiation as our choice, which is what you asked about in your one and only post so far. The radiation only approach did not seem to garner any votes, but then I did "misread" some comments.

I guess I was hijacking the thread also, and apologize also. I put my signature back too, which hopefully the only thing to add is NED lol.

And here I thought that your solitary "?" was a brilliant yet infuriating blowoff in the nature of a demurrer (a legal term for when a defendant responds: "So what?" to the pleading). I loved to file them back in the day. How perfect I thought; I need to remember that for future use. For what it's worth, once I finally got my fentanyl and hydrocodone dosages correct (too little, too much this week) I attempted to massively edit my two posts, but the 6 hour window for editing was gone. Glad we resolved this. Plus I see your location and signature are now back to normal. It's sort of weird how all our prior posts change so as to have current signature even when appended to a post years ago before I had even one recurrence. Little did I know then just how long and hard this journey was going to be. You are good company to make it with. I hope you can add NED soon to that signature line.

It served no purpose on the forum. Paul, next time if you run into difficulties, please PM me. I could have deleted the post back when it first happened.
PLEASE....lets allow our new member Doolittle to have his thread. I notice he has not posted again. How about instead of hijacking the people who are having a discussion take it off the forum and discuss it thru PMs. Spats give newer members the wrong impression about the forum and are not helpful to anyone.

As I am in good health (besides the big c) I am sure I could handle both barrels, my rad doc (top doc in clinic they say) and the medical oncologist which he called the chemo doc both recommended no chemo things may have changed since pet scan though as they may do a biop of tonsil, not sure if they seen something there or want to rule out for rads in that location. I will try and pay attention more now that I am taking a holiday I prefer cooking the outside instead of the inside on holidays btw...no prob on the hijack always interesting reading..ken

I was concerned you had been scared away. This board has some very passionate members who all have the patients best interests in mind. We have walked this road and know all the bumps. Its hard to watch others go down the same path without offering our help. Everyone is an individual and will respond a little differently to everything, treatments, medications etc.
Wishing you all the best with everything!!!
