I am the wife of windyjoe and caregiver. He was diagnosed with cancer on the back, base of tongue in June of 2003. He had radiation and chemo. He is left with only liquids for a diet and the swallowing of this is getting almost too much for him. ANYWAY has anyone ever connected their oral cancer to asbestos exposure?? Or at least thought it possible. Joe never smoked or drank alcohol (other than socially). I have been to many web sites about this and it does seem possible. Joe was around asbestos onboard a ship in the U S Navy. Thanks for listening Charlotte (wife of Joe)

Husband with SCC at the back of tongue. 7 weeks radiation and 1 cycle of chemo completed 09/2003
