Introducing myself - Cancer of tongue base

Hi all,

My name is Vinnie, I am 52 years old.

It's been 7 months since the start of a sore throat and after lots of scans and 2 biopsies, last week it was confirmed to be cancer of the tongue base. I have my meeting with the oncologist tomorrow morning to explain my treatment plan.

It's in-operable so I am already informed it's Radio & Chemotherapy for me.
