After months of sinus infections and strep, I finally saw an ENT. We did tests, then this week a CT w dye, and found a mass. Results today from Biopsy says squamous cell carcinoma, it's at the base of my tongue.
I live in Texas, trying for appt at MD Anderson.
Have yet to see oncologist, waiting on referral from ENT.
My brain doesn't seem to wanna wrap around this!
I would appreciate some "what will happen next" info.
And is Proton as good as Tomotherapy? Is it the same?
ENT Doc recommended first chemo then radiation. No surgery due to location. They didn't see anything else on the CT scan... But he basically told me that this was beyond his level of expertise and there was nothing else he could do.
Thanks in advance... I'm floundering here..
I hope I've posted in the right spot. I really appreciate finding this forum and being able to connect.
