Death from head and neck cancer?

In: Health, Human Anatomy [Edit categories]

Answer:

No - still alive obviously but 2nd recent reoccurrence of Head and Throat cancer, tonsil area, jawbone, and left side of face. Very concerned about 'nil' treatment options since I can not undergo surgery nor re-radiation. Currently chemo but not working that great. Trying to do alternative treatment as well. Wondering how long I have since chemo is not a 'cure' for head and throat cancer. And, wondering 'how much chemo can I body take?
