Diagnosed with SCC on base of tongue

I had SCC on the base of my tongue and a couple of lymph nodes in the fall of 2020. I had chemo and proton radiation, since have had 3 years of cleans scans. It's a tough disease but you folks will get thru it.

I wrote a blog during my experience (non-revenue generating) if you would like to review it. You can read it at:

More importantly, my wife wrote a wonderfully insightful post of lists and non-advice advice.

I have that, and starting chemoradiation this week. I anxious, and ready to do all I can. I feel good, eating good. I know side effects may be hard, in the mouth, throat. I have a baking soda, salt, water mix to help with it. How long after treatment, do the check if things have worked?
Thank you.
