Ok at the doctor today Greg had Chemo.This is his forth round of Carbosplatin of 8 treatments , he will have 8 total.
While there the last time I asked the doctor what Greg had , she said T4N1Mo Larynx Squamous Cell Cancer , That it Metastic to both Lungs.
This time I asked her is the Esophageal cancer she said not it was head a neck.
So what board should I post to for help?
Greg had no surgery because his tumor was T4 Ni MO , he does not have a J-tube nor a pic line . He lost his voice but after the first treatment his voice came back. the did 7 weeks of Radation and Chemo MArch to MAy 2009, May 2010 the cancer spread to his lungs so we are doing treatment for that. I do understand that since it was Larynx cancer that it is still Larynx cancer but Mets to the Lungs(Both).
I am confused do I post to the Esophageal page or Head and Neck?

    Thank you so very much I am trying to look at all the things you send . You are such a great person you and your wife , give us all hope. I was not sure what type of cancer , I did ask and was told Thursday that Greg's would be Head and Neck. I thought having the Larynx t4n1mo Squamous cell Cancer Metastuc was what I needed to know, but it did not seam to site in this site. So I did ask the Doctor, I do ask every time we go. Greg forgets but I ask about everything I can think of. and Hope I do not miss something.
    My greatest joy in the world is my husband and my two adult children. I would do and or try anything to help them.
    You are right he is the head but I am the neck!
    Thank you for taking the time to help others , I am sure you have touhed so many lifes and help in ways you can not believe.
