hi, dn't know if this is the correct spot to post this but....
My husband just finished with 3 rounds of cysplatin Chemo, and 37 rad. he has head and neck cancer(nasal pharynx) sp. not the greatest. This has been a long and brutal journey. with 11 out of 20 lymph nodes. He is given a 4 week break now. His dr. wants him to go on a chemo pump for 96 hrs. 1 week for the next 3 months. He is very upset about this and wants to know if it makes a difference. Has anyone done this? thanks caregiver to Tom.

Hello Ladyjoe

Welcome to the Oral Cancer Foundation Forum. I can not answer that question but many here can and will. You have come to the right place. Most "newcomers" post in the wrong place the first time. It is no biggy. Go to the "forum home" page, select the "Introduce yourself" forum and put this information there. Also, read the faq at the top of the page. This will help you get familiar with navigating & using this site. Also, go to the "General Board" forum and open it. Scroll down to the topic "How to Get The Most Out Of This Forum". Open and read it for more "tips". We just were discussing how a newcomer has to learn on their own. We are trying to make it easier. Before you introduce yourself I suggest you do this: At the top of the page click on "my profile". Then click "edit profile". Scroll down to the signature box and type in your DX, Tx.(just like you wrote in this post) This will appear at the bottom of every post you make or respond to. See mine at the bottom of this post. You can change it anytime. It is not required but it saves you from explaining yourself every time you post. Sorry for the "letter" without an answer. Looking forward to your company on the forum. Good Luck! Petey
PS: GO STEELERS! Don't mind me, I'm just another confused DOLFAN???

Thanks will do.
