Links between EC & Vioxx?
Has anyone experienced a link or heard of a link between taking Vioxx and developing EC? My father was diagnosed last week with EC; my mom thinks all his symptoms began as soon as he started Vioxx. Any tips on where I could look for links between meds and EC would be appreciated as well. Thanks.
Base of Tongue Cancer
Hello, My father-in-law is in his fourth week of radiation treatment for base of tongue cancer. He's having a really hard time and I'm looking for some support for him and my mother-in-law. He seems to have so many questions and he is just being bounced from one Dr. to another. I think it would really help if they both…

You don't have to wait until that magic number 5 year, or even wait for the first 2 year goal marker, just getting through that first discussion with your doctor when you hear the word "cancer" makes you a…
Tongue flap reconstruction
I had surgery to do tongue reconstruction with the muscle from my forearm. Wondered if anyone had this done and then considered another surgery to make to appearance of the forearm look better and feel less sensitive. I am only two months out from surgery.. just want to see what is out there.
Fatigue
My husband had surgery on Jan. 16 and underwent some of his chemo and all of his radiation. He is scheduled to have his next round of chemo tomorrow. He also had a stroke on April 1, but from all we can see he has completely recovered from this. He is scheduled to have surgery on the carotid artery when he is finished with…
