Hello, My treatment was very hard, they hit me with radiation was place in a tub, then 3 or so days later hit me with chemo ended up in ICU for a week. went home and a week or so later wasn't keeping anything down not even water 🙁 went back and had to place a feeding tub in after about a month was still getting sick, went back to hospital had to remove FT and replace in lower GI... I had a total of 33 rounds, I still have my lymph nodes, just had an ultrasound done 9/11/2025 to make sure there was no blockages going. every thing came back narrative. 🙂 that being said, I have adjusted to my nerve damage with my body... It's just so hard sometime with this new journey I'm on now, how this effect my ability to normal talking & eating. I do what to thanks you for all the information.

Hi @cskippy,
Unfortunately, they all are from the treatment. I didn't even mention before that I was diagnosed with Tongue cancer on my left side of my mouth on March 1, 2024, and had a left partial glossectomy with a radical forearm free flap surgery on April 3, 2024. It also included a modified radical neck dissection. This one was not caused by HPV and was most likely from too much radiation from the first cancer as it is literally adjacent to my left tonsil.
