Treatment protocol
I am truly grateful for all the comments and and the guidance of everyone’s journey through this terrible club we’re all in. A question I have for the group is I see a lot of people that are doing chemo and radiation therapy to rid the Cancer cells from their body. I was diagnosed with stage one squamous cell carcinoma with metastasis to one lymph node. I am also an unknown primary tumor diagnosis which has me concerned that they’re not being aggressive enough. I had two surgeries, one to remove the 58 lymph nodes and my tonsil, then went in for another surgery to remove the lower tonsil to find the primary which never was found. I am in my second week of radiation. I’m concerned that my treatment maybe not aggressive enough however, my oncologist team @ Rush/Anderson in Chicago said because of my staging they don’t want to be too aggressive. Has anybody in this group been through the surgery and radiation only with no evidence of disease years down the road. Just trying to get some peace of mind that I am doing the right things.
Again, thank you to all
