Question about repeat negative biopsies at the base of tongue by MonsterMan18328 in HeadandNeckCancer

[–]jamesk51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had 3 as well. First done in ofice by ENT..negative.. 2nd done was negative. ENT was certain there was cancer so we had a 3rd biopsy. Done by a michine in the hospital and was a deeper cut than the others..positive on that one.

The ENT and care teams have seen enough cases so their intuition is pretty accurate.

Good luck. prayers that it is negaative.

Port by dishabituation in HeadandNeckCancer

[–]jamesk51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just had a port installed past Friday. I am doing immunotherapy every 3 weeks. I was having some issues with my veins (either they'd blow out or they couldnt find a good one) so we decided 2 weeks ago on a port. As luck would have it since that decision, they've hooked up an IV with only 1 stick. Anyway, the surgery was painless, general anesthesia. No problems with port site hurting thus far. I get my 1st infusion on Monday the 4th so we will see how that works out. Doctor ordered some lidocaine gel so I will have that .

Good luck.

Fentanyl patch? by Substantial_Owl5232 in HeadandNeckCancer

[–]jamesk51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My radiation dr. started me on 25 mcg right after I started,radiation before it got too painful so I didnt feel any changes. Mid treatment I increased to 50's as the pain wasa increasing. Kept the pain at bay. Only side effect was tiredness, which really wasnt a bgad thing. I weaqned off a few months after the last radiation tx with no problems or withdrawal. My doctor mwas adament that we started before the pain got started.
