Billy,

I am a base of tongue victim myself and was diagnosed last April. I had never had any "up close and personal" experience with cancer involving me or any close relative.

I would be more than happy to fill you in with answers to any questions or concerns you may have if I think I could be of help. Feel free to e-mail me directly in that regard.

One question I will ask at this time is whether or not you are going to have a PEG (feeding) tube installed prior to starting treatment?

Bill D.


Dx 4/27/06, SCC, BOT, Stage III/IV, Tx 5/25/06 through 7/12/06 - 33 IMRT and 4 chemo, radical right side neck dissection 9/20/06.
