Cancer Interviews

Steve Jacobsen - Survivor of Head and Neck Cancer - Ventura, California, USA


Listen Later

Steve Jacobsen was diagnosed with a form of head and neck cancer. Oropharyngeal cancer affected the back of his tongue to the extent he could not eat like you and I, and had no idea if he could eat again. After radiation treatment and chemotherapy, a PET scan revealed the cancer was gone. He can eat again, but says the toughest part of his journey was, after the insertion of a feeding tube, not knowing if he could ever swallow or eat again.
