Hi All,

Finished treatment 2 years and 13 days ago. (SCC base of tongue, 2 nodes, 6-8 chemo with cisplatin, 5FU, taxol & somehting 3lse, 35 Rad treatments, and ethyol) Just saw my RadOnc and am still clear. According to him, 90% of re-occurances happen within the first two years. I am very lucky. I have little or no xerostomia, my neck scar barely shows, and I am starting to have to watch my weight.

I have not posted in a while, but watch the site regularly. I want to thank all who have helped me and wish all who are starting this ugly journey, the best of luck. Fight hard, I am proof that this thing can be conquered. cool

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.
