Thank you all for all your replies - I've been busy latley having some tests and meeting Dr's etc. It looks better for some type of treatment to start, I'll know next week and keep you informed. Basically the plan is about 33 Rad treatments starting Sept and 4 treatments of Chemo at the same time for I believe the 1st wk- and last wk of Rad. The chemo drugs they are considering are Epotposide I.V. & Carboplatin, I was told I would be very sick due to my kidney's functioning at only 40% and high blood pressureetc and may need blood, plattlette transfusions, blood transfusions etc due to my kidneys and won't be able to swallow or chew etc because of the rad damage to the wind pipe, swallowing tube & esphogus. They said I'll have more probs with nausea and tryingto eat, but I'm willing to fight thru whatever it takes- if any one has comments or suggestions in regards to these treatments please feel free to respond, I do so very much appreciate all your support& insight- waiting for an MRI on the brain to rule this out & then I should be able to give you a better update on our plan - thank you all & do please take Care , thank you ever so much - Brent
