My husband has Stage #4 metastatic laryngeal cancer. He was originally diagnosed in 03, had
aggressive chemotherapy and radiation and after three years it is back with two tumors in the lung. A chemo "cocktail" of taxotere, cisplatin, and 5FU is to be started next week but we are told it will most certainly come back
even if the tumors shrink or disappear. Does anyone know of any other options? He has no symptoms but there is this "time bomb" about to go off..........This treatment is "pallative"; there is no cure. We are devastated. Why bother
at all?
What can we expect from this form of treatment?
We would go anywhere, try anything if it could give us any hope.
Does anyone know of a single case of five year
survival with this stage? If so what did this person do?
