Karen,
I hope things are going well for you and your husband. My Father has tonsil cancer stage 4 with MET to the bone. He is not doing radition only chemo. He is 57 years old and prior to this in good health. My father is doing very well responding to the chemo without to much of side effects. The hair loss and lack of energy and a few digestive issues is about it. I had him start IP-6 vitamins and he handles them well. My thoughts and prayers are with you two.
Michele
