Wow...this was a tough forum to read. I'm only 9 months from my last treatment and I'm doing ok. Obviously something like this can appear much later after treatment. I'm not sure I'd do what you folks did at my age (63). I hope I don't have to find out.

Diagnosed in March 2011. Treatment ended May 28, 2011. Back of tongue cancer with one lymph node(stage 4). Feeding tube 5 - 2011, to 9 - 2011. Some saliva and taste. Eating most foods; meat, fish and dry foods not so well. Swallowing pretty normal otherwise. Doing well now. The future? Who knows.
