Steven,

I am three years out. Same basic base of tongue.

Did not have saliva issues, but HAVE THEY CHECKED YOU THYROID?

Radiation will destroy the thyroid. ALSO, you need to have your Vitamin D level checked.

Lack of these will cause a lot of fatigue. I would check ASAP.

SCC, base of tongue, 2 lymph nodes, stage 3/4. 35 X's IMRT radiation, chemo: Cisplatin x 2, 5FU x2, & Taxol x2. Hooray, after 3 years I'm in still in remission.
