Hi everybody,
I have just been diagnosed with tongue cancer on the base of my tongue. I haven't met my Oncologist yet, I see him on Tuesday, but my ENT specialist has told me that they think I will be best treated via chemoradiation.
Really I have just joined this group so that I can connect with people who have already gone or are also going down this route.
Thanks in advance

I had base of tongue cancer and I’m 4 years cleat.
I have a blog linked at the bottom of this post. Some of it might help.
Please leave Google alone for now. It’s full of inaccurate and often alarming information

Hi Dani,
Thank you for that, I will definitely have a look at the blog.

Hi again Kerry.
I avoided chemotherapy so there’s nothing about it there. There’s no doubt side effects are a little worse with it. Have a look at MarkEL his profile has a jolly good diary of his treatment
