My husband was diagnosed two weeks ago. The cancer is at the base of the tongue, HPV+. We have seen the radiation oncologist and are waiting for an appointment with the medical oncologist, hopefully soon. He already has his mask, radiation planning session, seen his dentist, and will be seeing an audiologist today. A lot is happening and it is sometimes overwhelming. I'm glad I found this website, particularly the forum. Will stay hopeful and take it a day at a time.
