Hello,

I had my first round with head and neck cancer in 2008 when I was 56 which was dealt with by surgery and radiation treatment. I suffered more from the radiation treatment than the original problem.

I have a PEG tube fitted as I'm nil by mouth following several long hospital stays. My voice is destroyed through the radiation.

I have now been diagnosed with cancer of the spine following a recent PET. I have a red glowing vertebrae!

I was told that indicates stage 4 as the cancer moved from the original site. 
I only have one question, as reality hasn't dawned on me yet. 
What is the survival rate in a typical situation? I have already been informed that Chemo, radiation and surgery are not an option.

I simply know that I'm not gomn
