Hi I used to be on Cancer Compass. I am coming up on 12 years post treatment for Stage 4 base of tongue cancer. Just want to offer encouragement to all who are on this forum!

I was going hoarse and didn't know why. An urgent care doctor said it was tonsillitis. It wasn't. I went to an E.N.T. doctor and was diagnosed with vocal cords cancer.
