    6+ years

    My husband just had his 6+ year check up and all is well.  Life is good with minimal side effects.  His diagnosis in 2012 as a non smoking 55 year old: stage 4 ssc of the piriform sinus with 2 lymph nodes affected.  T1N2bM0.  His treatment included 6 weeks of chemo followed by 10 weeks of inpatient  radiation and concurrent chemo, alternating weeks on and off.  We're still here and thankful for all of you.

    Keep up the information train for the H&N forum

    ERamanO,

    I appreciate the information about what happened.  I figured someone thought I had gone to the forum-in-the-sky, but I have not and furthermore I did not see anything about my demise on the forum (I do check). Phrannie51 or Skiffen16 are usually good members to ask about me.

    The reason for my concern is, there is a lot of work which goes into providing the ROLL CALL and to have someone simply (commander the ROLL CALL name, so to speak) is not cool. I know that DID NOT HAPPEN in this instance.

    I have provided all the H&N members with my explanation concerning my beloved (Is Matt weird) ROLL CALL.

    Also, I checked my records (I have a copy of all my responses) and I have written SuzyJ 10 times between April 2017 and January 2018. I have included an oldie-but-a-goodie herein of my second response to Suzy J, dated April 28, 2017, 9:11 pm:

     

    SuzJ,

    You are not going to die.  You need to survive for the next 2 months so that you can go back to not being a patient.  I always hope for the best for those beginning, but you never know how hard it will kick some people.  Remember, there are lots of meds available for nausea, pain, anxiety, etc.  I never liked the mask and had to take 1 Lorazepam each session, I came to find them interesting.  I went through 6 bottles of magic mouth wash; it was my savior for throat, mouth and tongue discomfort.  Additionally, I used numerous containers of silver sulfadiazine cream.  You find what works for you to help get you through and do it.

    Others here can share what they did and I would like to see you complete your treatment and move forward.

    Also, you must keep the nurses and doctors apprised of your troubles, they can help.

    Matt

     

    So, as you see I do care and I do apologize to her if she feels I over reacted.

    Finally, I liked the way you took on Ikanter about his 11 years cured of cancer.  These individuals show up on occasion.  Usually, you can tell it is a nut because they will put a few numbers before their name.

    Ok, I am done.

    Matt

    Thanks Matt...

    And again, I apologize for wandering about without a hall pass. 

    Maybe SuzJ can edit the title again to something like "Nothing to see here folks... move along".  ;-)

    Now I tihnk I'll go enjoy a beer and a Xylimelt.
