My fiancee was diagnosed with anal cancer in June 2012. He actually had a fissure and when the doctor did surgery, he found a tumor hidden behind a hemorrhoid. Six weeks of radiation and 2 chemo treatments. Treatment went well and he is in remission. When he first had his PetScan back in June of 2012, the scan also showed a spot on the base of his tongue. He had a biopsy and it came back negative. After the PetScan came back in December, the same spot showed up on base of his tongue. Dr told him he needed it biopsied again. We chose to go to another Dr, and this time, it came back positive. He just finished with prepping the mouth. Next week he will have his CatScan and the mask will be made. The Dr has informed us that this treatment will be worse. He is eating everything in site, trying to put on weight. His Base of Tongue cancer is related to the HPV. Being a caregiver, I know it is going to be even more difficult this time around.
