Hello all. I have recently been diagnosed with oral cancer in the base of my tongue and has spread to lymph nodes in both sides of my neck but no farther.

I'm halfway through treatment, day 17 if 35 in the radiation treatment and 3 of 6 low dose Cisplatin treatments completed.

I've been lurking and reading for a few days and so far it seems my experience is relatively typical of others so far. The side effects are building and I find myself most interested in the long term implications of the treatment and will be as impatient as anyone else to taste good food again.

I feel fortunate to have found the site and appreciate the benefit of others experiences.
