Your Question: [quote]So, of course, I'd love to see some longevity stats comparting treatment and nontreatment individuals. I have not yet learned that from my 3 brilliant docs at UCSD. And, I google but no luck. Any ideas? [/quote]
My Answer: Check your newspaper and internet and local funeral home website for obituaries. Those are the places where the statistics appear for "nontreatment individuals" This is a serious answer since non treatment has one result and one result only: death. There are ZERO documented cases of "spontaneous remission" of base of tongue cancer. Ancedotal reports of such fantasy turn out to be cases where they never had cancer at all (like Sandy's spouse)or else like some former posters, they had half of their radiation treatments and chemo and quit but it turned out to be enough.

It's wishful thinking that[quote] My symptoms are few: no pain...anywhere, no discomfort, no difficulty eating nor swallowing. Breathing, speaking and such are fine.[/quote] means that your lymph node is some sort of PAC-MAN gobbling up the cancer. At the time I was diagnosed with Stage IV and a huge tumor, that could have been me. Base of Tongue cancer is painless for the most part because there are not any nerves there.
You are not looking for knowledge, but for validation of a delusional belief system. While that is offered by Mexican clinics, homeopathic "doctors" and celebrity cancer books, it's not on the OCF menu.
But it is your life to throw away. Just don't pretend you are not choosing slow suicide.
