    So happy to hear this one
    But, what does the screen name mean? Every time I read it, I am reminded of the artist formerly known as "the artist formerly known as Prince." I believe he's just "Prince" again.

    Hi - Six Months
    Sure is good to see those bigger numbers. Me, I was stage IV scc Base of Tongue (T2N2). Six months since treatment ended March 16; treatment was nine weeks of induction chemo (Cisplatin,Taxotere and 5-FU) followed by seven weeks of radiation with weekly chemo (Carboplatin). Scans are good (watching one node).

    Oral Cancer Foundation Web-site!
    I haven't even had my 1st post PET scan so I won't post myself yet! But this is why I like the oral cancer foundation web-site. This site tends to have alot of people 1 year or less. They have alot of survivor stories of 5 years or more :)! God Bless!!

    I had Stage III SCC of the right tonsil, one lymph node involved. Had tonsillectomy, 30 rads and two rounds of Cisplatin, followed by a modified radical neck dissection three months after treatment ended. On Oct. 5 I celebrate the second anniversary of the last day of radiation.
