Two years ago, I was diagnosed with stage IV oral cancer at Johns Hopkins. I had previously gone through about 20 surgeries for oral cancer since 2009. This time was different as it was very large and fast growing. About two months after the 13 hour surgery another tumor popped up quickly. I didn’t know what the future held. I had 4 rounds of chemotherapy, then began immunotherapy every other week with Cetuximab and Keytruda every six weeks. I didn’t know if I would make it to 75! But here I am! Still doing okay so far, PTL.
