I love when someone asks (practically yells), "Hey how's your tongue? Can I see it?" They ask like I just ate a blue popsicle and want to see what color my tongue turned. These are usually people that don't know me very well.

In all fairness, before I got cancer, I had no idea what to say to people who had cancer. I just enjoy when people treat me like a normal person. I'm happy when people ask me about it in a respectful, quiet manner. I would rather that than be the elephant in the room.

I love this forum! It made me laugh:)


Cancer found on left bottom portion of my tongue on March 9th. Non-smoker and light drinker. Tumor removed March 30th. Stage 1. No chemo. No radiation.
