Hello folks.

I'm Robert. I've been reading through the forums and felt it was time to introduce myself.

In September I was diagnosed with a stage IV throat cancer that started at the base of my tongue. I had been completely asymptomatic prior to a lymph swelling up.

I had surgery 10/30 to remove a 4cm tumor from my neck plus lymph nodes and fatty tissue. It was agreed a resection could be avoided with a sucessful course of chemo & radiation.

I'm just about to start my third week of chemo/radiation.

I'm glad I found someplace that lets me know I'm not alone in this.
