Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 207 | Hi Bill, I too had SCC at the base of my tongue. Didn't have any teeth removed becaasue of the ability of my rad onc to pinpoint the radiation. That and my dental trays and floride. I started treatmeant last OCtober and finished the first week in Dec. Do you have your peg tube? My email is [email protected]. I will be glad to discuss with you on the phone and help and advise any way I can. There are several here in Raleigh that have been through this and can help. Steve
