First of all, I wish I had found this forum about 9 months ago. It definitely would have helped me get through my illness, which was stage 3 oral pharyngeal cancer (HPV).

Anyway, I was diagnosed in December of 2010 and began 7 weeks of chemo/radiation in early January of 2011. I am now doing well, ready and willing to help anyone that needs it.

That's obviously the abridged version, but I would be more than happy to give more details, if anyone is interested. The important thing is that this forum exists to help people get through the difficult physical, emotional and psychological times that accompany oral cancer and I would be more than happy to contribute where needed.
