Five years out

luv2cut1

Hi All,

I don't post much anymore, but I thought I would let everyone know that my husband just got the five year all clear from Stage IV recurrent scc of the epiglottis and lymph nodes on one side. He had chemo and radiation twice, along with a radical neck dissection (66 lymph nodes removed, 4 positive with extracapsular spread). Quality of life is good. He can still eat almost anything, has been at work full time since a few months after treatment, and remains very active. 

Hang in there everyone. It does get better.  We count our blessings every day. 

Thoughts and and prayers with everyone.

Hi Myka

That is wonderful news and its shows that there is good life after treatment. I am 12 years passed my first treatment and still working, but I have a lot of problems with side effects of the treatment but remember I was treated twice. It is very importance to keep the mind and body active as soon as treatment stops then focus on doing what you love to do again.
