Hi, everyone i just stumbled onto this site (thank God),,i was diagnosed w/ scc on left lateral tongue 11/09 and had surgery on 12/03/09,,after 2 scrapes of my tongue the margins were clear and i went home dealt with the pain and began healing. Meanwhile i was so thankful that it was stage 1 and caught early because i have 3 young kids ages 10 and twin 8 yr olds. Now only 4 months later i have another suspicious area on the same side in which i am having a pet scan done 2maro. I am 35 yrs old and am so scared that if the cancer has come back this soon what is my prognosis and what do i tell my kids???
