Thanks Mark for the reply. I jiust cam across this Support group and have been amazed by the wonderful "angels" that provide great support. My husband has Stage IV tonsil cancer as the primary source and his lymph nodes are swollen on the left and right side. We are being treated by the U of Miami Sylvestor Center. We see the Chemo and Radiation Doctor's tomorrow for a consult. All the suggestions have been wonderful in preparation of the treatment. I plan on speaking with Todd to convinve him to get a feeding tube, as so many suggestions seem to be advise. I want to get as much info as I can so I can help him through this. Once chemo and rad starts what can we expect based on the first few weeks ( I am trying to take this on a little at a time) ?
