Hello. Husband was diagnosed with SCC BT on 8/30/07 and had 3.5 cm tumor removed on left side of neck. Primary tumor was found at base of tongue, not removed. All tests on neck were negative so the cancer discovery was a surprise to say the least. He's non-smoker and social drinker; works in steel mill (could this be the culprit?). Visit to Rush University in Chicago with one of the best Head & Neck Surgeons in Midwest. No other surgeries needed and began IMRT on 10/10/07 for 7 wks. No PEG, no chemo. He is not computer savvy so that's why I'm here. He's able to retire in Jan '08 and thinks he needs to get out of the mills. Me thinks I'll be needing this group to bounce things off of. I'm happy with I've been reading thus far.
