Jeff,

I'm not too far ahead of you. I was diagnosed last April, right side, base of tongue, sound familiar? I was scared to death as never having been familiar with cancer and only wish I had found this site at that time. As it turned out I didn't find it until I completed Tx. last summer.

Feel free to send direct e-mail if you have any questions and I will try to answer as best as possible. I am having good follow-up results so far and just keep hoping and praying.

I was also a career smoker for 40 years and suddenly found incentive enough to quit cold turkey last April, the day my ENT reported the test results to me.

Bill D.


Dx 4/27/06, SCC, BOT, Stage III/IV, Tx 5/25/06 through 7/12/06 - 33 IMRT and 4 chemo, radical right side neck dissection 9/20/06.
