Hi,

I'm new member, 57 yrs young (Montreal, Canada) and just diagnosed with "throat cancer" at the base of my tongue. Biopsy confirmed and likely HPV positive as I'm a non-smoker. Completed CT, MRI and PET scans and has metastasized to multiple lymph nodes on one side of my neck. Drs are now saying surgery no longer an option and that I should start Radiation (7 weeks) and Chemo (9weeks) immediately. Obviously very scared although Drs are more positive with 83% survival rate. Has anyone else had chemo and radiation on mouth and neck that can share their experiences?

Thank you
Wish you all well.
