Guest guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I rarely speak out here being kinda shy by nature. I know the struggle you are going through. Fortunately I believe your outcome will end much better than my moms. She also has SCC of the throat. She also has spots in her lungs and colon. She was almost killed by the first round of chemo this spring. They started erbatux and radiation in dec (we brought her home on hospice this summer dr though she would die) She is now almost dead. 5'8 " or 5'10 " under 100 lbs. She will not do anything the dr does not approve so I can't even give her supps. Called dr tues. He said there is no way he can monitor her progress until the radiation is done in another couple of months. If it doesn't kill her by then. Sometimes I want to scream at him and her.
