Gary, Many of us here have had experiences like yours - each unique of course, but many similarities. My primary was in my tongue, but it had spread to lymph nodes in my neck. I am just past my three year anniversary and doing great.

Your experience will be uniquely your own, but there will be many issues that many here can help you with. There are NO stupid questions about cancer. Ask away. Anyone with any sense at all is afraid of cancer - for good reason. Share your fears here too. Many knowing hands will reach out to you. Sorry to have you among us, but welcome. Be strong. Tom
