Howdy everyone! I'm a 51 year old man living in DFW. I'm 6-0 feet / 190 pounds, never smoked, medium drinker and just ran a half-marathon <2 hours.
9/3/19 Pet scan and biopsy confirmed base of tongue squamous cell cancer, PV+ and T2N1M0.
Radiation oncologist planning 35 short radiation treatments over 7 weeks, and meeting with chemo doc next week.
Original symptom was painless cyst on side of my neck in lymph node. It was removed and pathologist found carcinoma in it.
Doc says "early to moderate stage as still confined to neck area, but moved to lymph node"
Like to think I won't need a feeding tube as like to eat smoothies and milkshakes, but...!
Any comments or suggestions appreciated!
