My son has finished his radiation/chemo treatments as of 6-5-06. He seems to be doing so well - good attitude, was eating solids week and l/2 after rad., back to work for 3 weeks. Nodule on neck has gone down tremendously but still a little there, much softer. He is going to ENT next week and I was surprised to see the folks saying their scans were scheduled 3 mo. after rad. I "thought" we were told they would be after rad. finished. (which could mean 3 mo., I guess) After reading above, I think I would question anything sooner than that. You sure hate to question very experienced doctor, but hey, just another number rolling through so as stated many times, keep them on their toes.
What is Tx? We (son, husband, me) were sooo much against surgery at the start. But after reading these experiences (80 nodes removed; one
had cancer - etc.) I have changed my mind and feel like now is the hour - we need to be as sure as sure can be we've got it all. Many thanks to you brave people for sharing your stories. Collie
