    Wellcome
    TBOB all of the people on CSN are wonderfull, when I joined this site it was like turning
    on a light! Just by reading the post's I understood more of what my treatment involved &
    everyone here has such a positive attitude so when I felt depressed I would come here &
    feel so much better. Everything happened so quickly & I had no time to think about what I
    was about to go through. I was lucky to have the best care from my hubby & truly feel for
    anyone that has to go through this journey alone.
    I wish you both all my best through treatment & recovery.

    Welcome
    My dad finished treatment about 2 months ago for base of tongue cancer. He did not have surgery, because they felt it would be too involved. He had radiation 5 days a week and chemo once a week. He did have lympe node invlovement. He just had his first scan post treatment and everything looked great.


    I would never hesitate to ask questions. At first I did not ask questions, but after reading things here I learned that asking the doctors questions is the way to feel better about things. Also, never hesitate to post on this site. They are so helpful and you will start to feel like part of a great large family.

    sorry
    I had tongue cancer but it was on the side of my tongue and that was 10 years ago. It spread to my neck so I was around a stage 4. They took off 1/4 of my tongue and after treatments went back to college. I also had radiation and surgery. As for me I went for a second opinion in the beginning just to be sure. Before he has anything done go see a dentist hopefully one who has worked with people with oral cancer. Oral care is so important during and especially after treatments. I'm sorry to hear about your husband. It is very hard, I was only 21 when I was diagnosed. If you ever need anything you can email me iloveev@hotmail.com
