I'm still here and radiation treatment sucks, but

So just to update everyone on my battle against the cancer in my tongue. The chemo treatment was tough, radiation treatment was worse, recovering from it even worse and I'm still not out of it. Imagine losing the ability to eat, drink and talk because the inside of your mouth was burned. Plus a few other unpleasant things.

I'm coming out of the worse now and even sitting at a computer and able to type.

Eva has been the rock that has kept me going, looked after me when I could not look after myself, cared for our daughter, home and business. There is no way I will ever be able to repay her. But I will try.

I am guessing another 4-6 weeks before I'm really over this and in around 6 weeks I go for the scan to see if it's beaten the cancer. Everyone including the doctors is positive about the results.

My advice to males over the age of 40 and sexually active women is to get regular checks catch the trouble early. Seeing some of the patients who did not is scary.
