Hello. My husband started his chemo radiation for HPV positive SCC, T4N0M0 tongue cancer a year ago and completed 6 weeks of treatment. He recently celebrated his 76th birthday and we attended my granddaughter’s wedding.

This group has been so supportive and insightful and we would have never made it without the incredibly caring and expert teams from the James Cancer Center! My husband had a feeding tube placed prior to the start of his treatment and we quickly adapted to using it to maintain his nutrition and calorie intake. It became impossible for him to eat and without it, he would have been harder for him to recover and rehabilitate. Everyone’s journey through treatment and recovery is different. Some days will be better than others. Keep moving forward and marking those treatment milestones off your calendar. You will get there!
