Hi All ,

Wishing you all a Healthy & Happy New Year ....today is my 4 yr anniversary cancer free . It's  surreal in the fact that 4 years has passed , some days it seems like just yesterday . While I don't get to this site often , I think of you often, for those of you just starting this journey or still in the fight it's difficult but you can do it...stay positive , be proactive in your health care , and never be afraid to be afraid, this is some scary sh*t. 

Blessings and prayers to you all

Linda

    Thank You

    I had stage IVa rt tonsil 1 lymph node involved , chemo cisplatin , toxetore  , and a 5FU pump every 21 days , the pump was attached for 5 days, for 3 months, then rads everyday for 7 1/2 weeks plus 1 infusion of carboplatin for each week of rads ...it is truly one day at a time ...good luck to your husband and strength for you as his caregiver .

    Congratulations!

    Congratulations on 4 years! Thanks for sharing your story. It's so nice to hear from other survivors. My hubby had a similar dx - stage 4 tonsil cancer w/1 lymph node. He also had chemoradiation, but with weekly doses of cisplatin over 7 weeks. It was pure hell, but we did it!

    We are keeping our heads up. Got a clear scan - check! Got the tube out - check! Next big challenge will be going back to work. For him the fatigue and lack of taste and hunger are the huge hurdles right now, but as they say, time heals all wounds.

    Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year and many more to come!

    Happy Happy New Year

    Wow another year has come and gone and June of 2016 will make Ten years from the time my Oncla doc gave me 6 months to a year at best to live. Our doctors are truly a blessing but the final word if not in their hands.

    I pray the God will bless everyone here on CSN H&N as we step into 2016.
