Hi there Joe,

Best wishes to a fellow Arkansan - I also had SCC right side of neck with primary at base of tongue. My chemo regimen was basically the same as yours with the addition of 5-FU. I also had my neck dissection after radiation/chemo. I am doing very well 2 years post treatment with the exception of a few swallowing and dry mouth issues - but they are manageable. One day at a time during treatment and like Joanna says it will soon be history.

Where are you at in Arkansas if you don't mind me asking? I'm in Hot Springs Village and received treatment in Little Rock. There are several other Arkies on the forum as well - I'm sure you'll be hearing from them. Stay on the forum and ask questions as you need to - there is a wealth of good information here.

Pam
