Rob's Decision

Rob met with his cancer surgeon this morning and has made a decision about the course of treatment he is going to pursue.

He has decided to have a neck dissection where they will remove most of the side of his neck, nodes, and any affected tissue. That will be followed up by 6-7 weeks of radiation to the surgery area. He chose not to have the more radical radiaiton which would have meant radiating his whole head. He said the side effects were too drastic, loss of smell and taste being the most primary.

The doctor wants to do the surgery as soon as approval is received from the insurance company, sometime next week most likely. He will be hospitalized at least the day of surgery overnight and longer if needed.

Thank you again, for all your prayers and we will update the blog once the schedule is set.

God bless you,
Carol and Rob
