Hello everyone, I'm new here. I was diagnosed with HPV 16 tongue base cancer about a month ago. It seems to have taken forever to get to where I am now. I am getting the feeding tube next Tuesday on the 7th and I'll start the radiation and chemo on the 8th or so that's what I've been told. I would really like to hear from any survivors of this type of cancer. I really can't say I'm glad to be here. I wish I never had any reason to look up this site but it is comforting to read about others that have been right where I am now.

Thanks,
Curtis
