My 84 year old father (he will be 85 in August) was diagnosed with cancer on the base of his tongue a couple of months ago. As of today he has had 16 (of his 35) radiation sessions and 3 of his chemo treatments. It is tough but he is getting through it. Truthfully, from what I have read on this site, it is hard on everyone. My dad is doing well with his treatment, he gets cranky and weak, but he will be cured and so will your dad. Feel free to contact me if you want to chat. My name is Chris. Everyone here has been so nice to me and so informative. You are with good people. God Bless.
