Yes I have just had it confirmed, I have moderate squamous cancer of half the base of my tongue and I have a 50/50 chance of surviving for 5 years, as I�m fit and 64 the doctor says, I should be able to tolerate the Chemo, Radiation, treatment and I have to see the Radiation doctor Saturday, Im going to bed now and try to take all this in.
What now do you think, any advise it has not all sunk in yet, I don�t think and my lymph node is aching a lot and swelling.
Help!!! What do you think will happen from start to finish.
Kind regards
JOHN
