Thank You Lisa, I admire you and I am very sorry to hear about Greg's passing due to this horrible disease. Thank you again and if you think I can be of any help, please email me. I had Stage IV tongue cancer, two lymph nodes involved, diagnosed 4 years ago, had all of the above that you mentioned and 7 weeks of radiation. Mine too started as an ulcer that would not heal, I was given antibiotics for months, until finally sent to the doctor who diagnosed it. ...Love, Carol
