Hi everyone, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
My husband was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the base of the tongue on Dec. 1, 2006. He began his treatment on Dec. 18. Chemo 1x per week for 7 weeks and Radiation 5 x per week for 7 weeks. I am overwhelmed by his diagnosis. He is young (42) and very healthy. Has never smoked or used any tobacco products. He has never even been sick! I am so scared for him as well as our sons, ages 16,14 and 12. Anyway, I'm new here and I just wanted to say HI and thanks for being here for me. I think I will need your support. Amy
