Pam,

I would like to address a point you mentioned in an earlier post under a different thread. You mentioned that everyone seems to think your husband was a prior smoker simply because of a Dx of an oral cancer. In reading your posts I get the impression that he has Base of Tongue cancer? I have/had Base of Tongue also but was a former smoker. My ENT told me early on that statistics show that 8% of Base of Tongue patients have never at anytime used tobacco products.

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.
