I had cancer of the tongue base did radiation 70 gray,followed by right neck dissection. I've had a PEG tube for two years, can't swallow anything, also have a wooden neck. I thought I was alone, but came onto this web site and saw that there are a lot of us. Im a 60 year old male,I have a wife and two boys, and two grand children. Thanks for being here, Chip

HI Chip! I'm new to this site also, with SCC of the base of the tongue. I also felt that I was the only one with this. This is definetly a great site with alot of helpful and kind people. It overwhelms me sometimes to actually know how many people there are out there just like us. Take care. Linda

Hey Chip,

Glad you found this site. It has been a godsend of info for me. Welcome.

Where are you from in WI? I am from central WI (near Eau Claire) and I went to college at UW-Oshkosh.

Welcome to the site. It is very helpful and it will definitely make you feel like you are not alone.
