Hi EBJ,
My husband also appears to have another cancer caused from prior radiation. Nine years ago (age 34) he had six weeks of xrt rad for tonsillar non-hodgkin's lymphoma. Did great until this April when he was found to have Stage IV base of tongue/epiglottis SCC. The irony is that at the time he had the 1st rad he already had "odds" upwards of 90% cure with chemo and the rad was just really a little insurance. I try not to dwell on that though because we made the best decision we could at that time and we had to deal with what was at hand. I guess we don't really have the luxury of worrying about secondary cancers when we have one to cure now.It is a little scary though because now he has had rad twice to the same area. The docs do feel this cancer is most likely from the prior rad-never smoked and social alcohol. I wish you both well .
