Can Chemotherapy Reduce The Size Of A Ganglion Near The Carotid?
My husband was treated last year for CA base tongue stage 4, his tongue is clear but he has now had 2 of 3 sessions of Al Saraff chemotherapy, the 3rd has been postponed as he needs to build himself up. The specialist advises there is no tumour in the lymph gland but he has a ganglion which currently makes surgery high risk due to its proximity to the carotid.He says this needs reduced before surgery is an option. Can chemoptherapy reduce this sufficiently?If it is not an option what would a treatment plan be?Also he has mucositis which impacts on his eating, how long does it last? MALE 67 years 8ST
