You have had a week from hell. Both parents and yourself dx with cancer in one week! I will be pulling for all three of you to beat this diaease. The road ahead can be rocky but many of us have traveled it and survived. When you start treatment post any questions you have and someone with similier treatment will respond.

My husband Lee has stage IV base of tongue and epiglottis. I am encouraged reading your note. He is so sick right now and I'm hoping to give him some inspiration. Did you have surgery? He had a total glossectomy and partial laryngectomy
and is now undergoing chemo and rad. He had non-hodgkin's lymphoma of the tonsil 9 yrs. ago and couldn't receive enough rad this time since same area involved-although different cancer altogether. They haven't given him a whole lot of hope for swallowing but don't really have a lot of statistics since the combo of total glossectomy and partial laryngectomy is not common. Thank you and God bless
