Here is my story;

Use the scrollbar INSIDE the window on the right (NOT the browsers scrollbar)to see my pictures. Links to other pages (with scrollbars) appear as titles on the left side of the page.

I have made peace with my creator and I have realized since this event that I am on *bonus time* every day that I awake.

    Welcome
    Welcome to the board...it took me a day or so to respond...had to check out your blog first, make sure you seemed legit and not a spammer, LOL..

    Very well done, and informative, definitely brings back memories.

    I also went through very similar to you January - June 2009....

    Amifostine included, though mine were injections into my stomach every day just bfore the rads head shots, and mask included....

    STGIII SCC HPV+ Right Tonsil and a single lymphnode same side...

    Nine weeks (three week cycles of Cisplatin, Taxotere and (5FU via a pump)), seven weekly doses of carboplatin, 3 daily rads and Amifostine.

    I also had 70 grays on the affected side and 60 grays on the other....

    Rough diet for sure....

    Best,
    John

    Did you have to have all your teeth pulled before radiation? If so how long after radiation were you able to get dentures?---Smitty
