I was interested to hear your story, years wondering what was going on, that must be awful. Thanks for replying to my post, I am a newcomer, felt terrible today and feel better already when I read stuff on here - people with this cancer are the bravest people ever - after what I see my mum went through, and I see many of you have done that over! Life is precious!

Mum: rare muco epidermoid carcinoma of left tongue base. Partial glossectomy with radial free flap reconstruction, left modified neck dissection, tracheostomy. Due to undergo radiotherapy.
