Hi,

I was unexpectedly diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma on the right side of my tongue, and recently had surgery. About 1/3 of my tongue was removed along with and area at the floor of my mouth. A Level 1-3 neck dissection was also performed and squamous was found in two nodes. In addition , a few squamous cells were found on a walk about in the fatty tissue by the nodes.

For all of that, I will be starting chemoradiation in a week and it will go for 6 weeks. I'm hoping that I can get some hints for getting through the chemoradiation as well as possible. I finished radiation for breast cancer in February, but I know that this is a whole different kettle of fish.

I'm glad to have found this forum and look forward to reading through the threads.
