One Year Since Symptoms Started - 3 months Cancer Free
WOW! A year ago I started feeling stabbing pain in my ear which turned out to be SCC HPV base of tongue/tonsil. I was diagnosed at Thanksgiving, started treatment in late January and my June PET scan was clean. I'm really grateful to this community for all the virtual hugs, honest information, and support. I'm not a Mayo patient, but this forum has inspired me to try and start an in-person group here in San Antonio at Mays/MD Anderson. Please cheer me on -or if you're spiritual, please pray for me- tomorrow I'll ask my care team to help me get a group going.

6 ReactionsI used my radiation treatments to say my morning prayers. He comforted me throughout my entire cancer experience. My healing went well and my doctors and nurses remarked often on how well I was healing....we know why!

2 ReactionsSo glad to hear you will work to help others. I agree this forum is essential to my well being. I am with MSK and they have nothing like this. You can reach out to the nursing staff and they are very skilled and caring.
I am sure we are all grateful for the teams that have helped us on our journey- from reception to nurses to radiation technicians and surgical teams. Thank the Lord for all of these wonderful people.
