I wish I had found this Forum 2 Years ago which is about the time I was first diagnosed with Stage IV SCC on left tonsil. Completed treatments in December 05 and declared cancer free in March 06 (Hope to stay that way). I am still trying to overcome some of the side effects from the treatment and hope to get some new ideas from this site.

Biggest problems are I can't swallow and severe Trismus. I have been receiving speech therapy w/Vitalstem which has shown some improvement. For the trismus I use a device called a Therabite which helped a lot in the beginning but has not shown any improvement in several months.

Please conact me if there are any questions or ideas that you may have for me or from me.
