Just a note to tell each and every one of you amazing people who take the time to "post" a big THANK YOU. During the last 9 months I have researched every possible avenue available to find information for my husband. ( Stage IV base of tongue ) I don`t think I have found a problem that has not been addressed here,in laymans`s terms, that I can understand without frying my already overloaded brain. We are going for the first post treatment CT scan Tuesday, and, whatever the outcome, mostly because of this site we know we have done all we can to combat this horrible disease. Once again, Thank you all.

Karen and Dan thank you for your encouragement. The CT scan went well ,no sign of anything in the neck or head just a slight swelling of the tongue which they put down to radiation after effects. Doc said best possible results we could have hoped for. Today we are very happy!!
Cheers Marica
