I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma on the base of my tongue but during a CT an incidental find on my pancreas which is a 4.5cm tumour on the tail. I'm still waiting for biopsy results but it is looking like cancer apparently. Really worried as now my treatment for the throat will probably be put on hold so I guess it will keep growing. My worst fear is that the pancreas is not curable as they can't tell me that yet....

Oh @bella01, that’s a double-whammy - tongue cancer and possibly pancreatic cancer. Is it possible that it is metastasis of the same cancer?

You may also wish to join the discussions about squamous cell carcinoma in the Head & Neck Cancers support group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/head-neck-cancer/

There are several members here, like @stageivsurvivor and @krfinlayson, who can tell you that you can live with pancreatic cancer.
