Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 131 | Hi, after several posts and several replies, thank you to all. I can now say the last MRI showed no trace of cancer in my husbands throat and he has a node of 1.7cm in his neck. The doctors would have disregarded this node had it been 1.5 cm. They are now watching it. They may have to do a dissection. We are truly blessed and a huge weight has been lifted from our shoulders. Again, thank you to all who have supported me. God Bless...

Congratulations! So happy to read good news about your husband. We are still in recovery mode and had the 2nd month post-treatment appointment today. Pet/CTScan will be early October. My husband is doing well and had the PEG tube removed today and we're hoping for good news to share come October.
Best wishes,
Elaine
