HI,
MY HUSBAND HAS JUST COMPLETED SIMILAR TREATMENT.
RICK WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER OF THE TONGUE AND TONSIL. HE STARTED WITH INDUCTION CHEMOTHERAPY FOR 6 WEEKS ONCE A WEEK, THEN HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL 5 DAYS
GETTING CHEMO/RADIAITON THEN HE WAS HOME FOR 1 WEEK. HE REPEATED THIS TREATMENT 5TIMES OF A TOTAL OF 10 WEEKS. HIS STAGE WAS ALSO IV. THE MOST WONDERFUL TEAM OF DOCTORS AT UNIVERSIY OF CHICAGO HAVE BEEN DOING THIS TREATMENT FOR 5 YEARS WITH TREMENDOUS SUCCESS. TELL YOUR LOVED ONE THAT THEY WILL MAKE IT THROUGH, IT ROUGH TREATMENT BUT IT BEATS THE ALTERNATIVE. THERE IS A REMARKABLE ANTI-NAUSEA DRUG THAT MY HUSBAND TOOK (ZOFRAN) IT WORKED GREAT. HIS THROAT WILL BE SORE AND HE WILL BE TIRED BUT TELL HIM TO TAKE IT A DAY AT A TIME. THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE IS TO BE SUPPORTIVE AND DON'T LET HIM GIVE UP. MY HUSBAND JUST FINISHED HIS TREATMENT TODAY AND HE WILL BE ON HIS WAY TO A HEALTHY RECOVERY. IF I CAN BE OF ANY HELP PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO WRITE. YOU WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS
