William, glad to hear it has been years since having cancer. I had cancer in my pyriform sinus 14 years ago and had radiation and had to eat through a feeding tube for 3 months but came out of it great and then 14 years later had this base of tongue cancer removed on 10/29/2024. I hope to be a two time survivor. The pathology on the tumor and lymph node dissection were negative so I hope my pet scan in February is negative…then I will feel all cancer was gotten. My only reason to post here was I was hoping to help other people going through this to be able to get some more information from people that have gone through it.
