First off, I live in Huntley, IL and was wondering where you are going for treatment ? I had my surgery done at Loyola Medical Ctr in Maywood at the Cardinal Bernadine Cancer Center. I had tongue cancer, fully contained with no lymph node involvement. I had 6 weeks of radiation treatment, but no chemo.
DX 12/6/10 of T3 SCC Tongue.
Surgery 1/3/11 was hemigloss & forearm free flap, midline mandibulectomy, Neck Disection-All nodes clear.
Ended rads 5/11/11. Taste buds back to about 80%. PEG removed 4/5/12, experimenting eating real food again. If I can do this, so can you !! Stay Strong.
