edited March 2014 in Head and Neck Cancer #1
Roll call was established a couple of years ago so individuals can briefly view the status of all who were treated for head and neck cancer. Only names of those who enrolled will be listed.

An update will be provided in January and July of each year. In the past, I included the status of the individual. This takes a lot of time to update.

Effective with this January 2011 roll call, the format will be as follows:

Screen name, location, type of cancer, date diagnosed, enrollment date, last check in date

The enrollment date is not when you first had the cancer, but when you joined our roll call group. When you check in, provide a brief summary so others can read on your case and status. The date of enrollment and date checked in need not be provided. I can extract the information from the date of your posting.

If enrolling for the first time, please provide information on where you are from, type of cancer and date diagnosed (if known), your treatment and status. If you prefer to only list your state or country, that will be fine. The date the information was posted for the first time will be the enrollment date.

A special thank you to SKIFFIN16 for creating the map locations. Although you have indicated your state of residence in roll call, it can also be seen on the below map.

If there are sufficient responses, a roll call update will be provided in July 2011.

    From Lihue, Hawaii. NPC diagnosed in January 1998. Completed regular radiation treatment in April 1998. Was too sick and suspended, then cancelled chemo. Asked to return in two months for direct radiation implant for lymph node.

    Think NET was in 2000. At present, dry mouth has worsened. Only about 50-60 percent of taste returned. Happy to be around 13 years after cancer was discovered.

    Thanks for updating
    From NJ, my husband completed treatment on June 10, 2010 for BOT SCC Stage 3 HPV+. Clean scan 9/2010. :))) Still has PEG. Going for swallowing therapy-can't emphasize enough how important it is to try to keep swallowing to keep your tongue muscle strong. He's hoping to have the PEG out by March 1. Taste and saliva back about 80%. On thyroid meds-I think that is helping to speed up his recovery.

    D Lewis, AKA Deb, Sierra foothills, California, DX SCC base of tongue, plus bilateral neck nodes, January, 2010, enrolled February 5, 2010. Completed eight weeks of cisplatin chemo and rads on May 12, 2010. Three month PET-CT showed NED. Now eight months out and scopings show nothing abnormal. Will have a second PET-CT in late 2011, which would be roughly 18 months out from end of treatment, unless the Doc feels something suspicious. Life is good.

    I've been watching to see if you would post so I could find out how Patrick is doing. This must be gut wrenching for the both of you. I am a former hospice nurse and so I hope you have kind and caring nurses to help you. God bless and keep in touch. We are here for you.
