Darn. I think I should have just waited and not asked. I'm getting problems sooner than most people. I had my first treatment May 28. A few days ago my mouth started being sensitive. Mainly the sides of my tongue and my throat. I've not been able to finish meals. I'm going to have to use the tube for at least part of my nutrition.

Squamous cell carcinoma base of tongue. Lymph involvement unclear; staging placed at "2 or 3." Biopsy 4/18/2008. Treatment: IMRT every day for 7 weeks. Cisplaten once a week to sensitize cancer to radiation. Treatment ended 7/16/08. PET/CT shows no more cancer.
