Hi Loli, My fiance's cancer is in the base of his tongue and lymphnode on his neck, squamous cell carcinoma keratinizing, p16 negative. We've been to multiple appointments and very overwhelmed. I have a notebook and an app that records the discussions with the doctors. We are very concerned about chemo and radiation and long term effects. We have been looking at immunotherapy but the success rate isn't as high. He is only 46 years old and has so much life to live. The chemo/radiation cocktail is being given an 85% success rate but the long term effects seem so overwhelming.
