I was diagnosed with a stage I squamous cell cancer under my tounge and had surgery to remove in January of 2013. A PET scan in September 2013 showed an enlarged lymphnode which was removed and staged as a TXN2AMO. Not really a tumor but cancerous none the less. I am scheduled for radiation therapy and I am terrified. I want to know what to expect as far as pain and hair loss and all the other things that come along with it, I want to hear it from people who have experienced it, not what the cancer websites say to expect. I know that there are a lot of people on here with all different types and stages of cancer and I realize that some may experience more drastic symptoms than others, I just want to hear the experiences so I can prepare myself. I am really scared, afraid that I will lose my job, etc. Thank you.
