Hello: My name is Tom. I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma at the base of my tongue 3-2020 and treated at UCLA on a clinical trial, and received a clear scan 10-2020. During 3 month follow-ups was advised to have a polyp and other tissue removed from throat, even though it appeared to be benign. 3-2022 had the tissue removed from throat, only to find cancer cells in larynx. Began standard of care (cisplatin x 7 & IMRT radiation x 33) on 3-15-22 so currently about at half way point. Would appreciate any feedback / experience from others who have gone down a similar path that may prove helpful. In particular, I am curious about long-term side effects based on this treatment plan and/or any thoughts about how to best navigate. I am seeing a speech therapist and a dietician as part of the protocol. Thanks in advance for assistance.
