Hello Again,
I just joined this site yesterday evening and it has been a blessing.
I am the one that has the son-in-law that has right tonsil and lymph node cancer that just finished chemo and 30 sessions of radiation 5 weeks ago.
I mentioned in my last post that his tumor had returned in the same tonsil and was sore to the touch. We were afraid that the treatments had totally failed after all he has been through and new or more treatment would be ordered and have to start over. Much to our surprize the doctor worked him in for an appt this morning and thinks he only has an infection in the tonsil because the area is really soft and not hard like before. He ordered an antibiotic for 14 days along with blood work and to follow up with the P.E.T. scan at the end of this month.
I can't express the relief we feel and hope and pray this diagnosis is correct.
He has just about every side effect that I have read on this site and has lost over 40 pounds. All he can consume is Ensure and only 2 per day. He has tried everything from blended foods, baby foods, jello and pudding. Nothing will stay down.
We were not aware there were liquid vitamins until I read it last night and tonight I have read numerous posts trying to find it and now can't find ANY pertaining to the subject. That is why I have added a new post for the name and location to get them. I would be so greatful if someone could help.
We would be more than happy to answer any questions that someone may have regarding the before, during, after symptoms and treatment details that he has been through.
Love and prayers to each and everyone of you!!!
Annette
