He was diagnosed with base of tongue cancer, stage 4a. Cancer is also in the lymph nodes in his neck. Pet scan is clear. He's in good health otherwise and doesn't have any pain or discomfort. We've seen the radiologist and oncologist. Treatment options are an aggressive chemo alone with 3 chemicals to shrink the tumor followed by radiation/chemo. The other option is chemo and radiation together. Does anyone have any experience with this?
