hi all, i visited this site about a year a go i had SCC stage 3 at the base of my tounge. had surgery and lymph nodes removed and they were clean, so were cat scans and pet scans. so didn't do any chemo or radiation. LUCKY. at a follow up visit recently they found a lump at the back of my soft pallate. BUMMER. my surgeon said it's a real tough spot to take out the tumor and recommended radiation. it's funny but i do work for a pretty renowned oncologist on long island but i didn't think that chemo was used for something in the mouth only. i'll be calling him tomorrow. i'm a pretty dang positive guy. guess i'm going to have to kick it up a notch. anyhoo, say hi to me if you have a minute.
