My old man is going through the exact same thing (squamous cell carcinoma, back of the tongue), kinda weird to see this on HN of all places. He did chemorad treatment and it appeared to get it all, but then they found another localized area they want to cut out. All of this has been very invasive physically and mentally, even for finding it "early."

I suggested getting a second opinion from MD Anderson, KU, etc., on the surgery but I ultimately couldn't contend with the sense of urgency to get this thing started and rolling. It's going to be another rough year.

With absolutely zero due respect - Fuck Cancer.
