Hi, Dave. Altho I'm on the caregiver side of this disease, and way older than you, I can tell you that you will get tons of help, good information and sincere support here. So stay with us. My husband felt so good that he ignored his little "canker sore" for 8 plus months before bringing it to our family Doc's attention. His tumor was in the floor of his mouth and under the front part of his tongue with no lymph node involvement.He had surgery, including lymph node removal and 30 rad txs which ended July 8th. No chemo. Treatment will not a picnic, but it is doable. Let everyone here know whats going on with you. Amy
