I was diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer back on 7/14/2010. Both lymph nodes in my neck were involved with the left node being large enough to be visible to the naked eye. There was also a tumor at the back of my throat that involved the left tonsil to some small extent. The prescribed treatment in my case was 7 chemo treatments with concurrent radiation therapy. 7000gy of radiation was given over 35 days (every weekday). Chemo started 8/27/2010 and finished up the 7th and final treatment on 10/8/2010. Radiation started 9/2/2010 and finished the final treatment 10/26/2010.

I have approached the task of documenting this journey by keeping a personal diary, capturing images of myself to use as reference and by capturing as many video clips as I am able. I started keeping these records on 9/3/2010 which was the date of my second chemo treatment and also the date of my second radiation treatment. The images below start at that time and should be in chronological order.
The images at the very bottom of the page were taken 474 days after my last radiation treatment. |
