Hello singlelady61. I am 52 years old and had tongue cancer, with reoccurrence. My last surgery was in December 2020 followed by 30 doses of radiation and 6 chemo that end 2/22/22. I still can't put into words the heart dropping sensation at hearing the news. I just want to send you, though virtual, hugs and let you know you are not alone in this journey. I had radial forearm free flap surgery and radiation/chemo. I was told mine was an aggressive form of Squamous Cell Carcinoma. My heart felt best wishes for you.

Did you start taking Keytruda.
That is my Dr’s suggestion.

Thanks so much for your concern and unfortunately you know what I’ve been thru.
Doctor wants to do 5 radiation treatments. And start me on
Keytruda.
It’s supposed to be very effective in boosting your cells to fight off cancer.
