Hi Jordan. I was 31 at diagnosis with no smoking or tobacco and light drinking. Our stories are similar except I did have node involvement. Sounds like you are at the right place and doing well. Your speech should get better. I am almost 4 years out and have no speech or eating problems (except intolerance to really spicy foods bc of the radiation I had). Good luck to you! This board is a great source of information.


Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
