Bill,
I like you stumbled upon this site just a few days ago. I was diagnosed last month with Stage IV SCC base of tongue, with lymph node involvement on right side of my neck. I just had my third chemo treatment of taxol and carboplatin Thursday which I am receiving weekly for six weeks. Then I will have radiation daily for six weeks, followed by surgery. This site contains a wealth of information and support from folks with similar issues. Good luck with your treatments and I wish you much success in the future.
