My also 55 year old non-smoking and casual drinking husband was diagnosed this past January with Stage IV base of tongue cancer which spread to a lymph node in his neck. The past 7 months have been life altering so say the least. My husband is almost 4 months out of treatments. You will be able to share your experience as a caregiver and wife to us semi-newbies.
