Hello everyone, I was on this site maybe a week before my surgery, may of 2009. I unfortunately decided not to log on again for fear. I was afraid to admit what I was facing. just celebrated my two year surgery anniversary on May 11, 2011. I also celebrated my two year and three day cancer free May 14, 2011. I was 42 when diagnosed with scc, I was a smoker, light alcohol, partial glossectomy, left neck dissection, peg, 7-09 IMRT, no chemo deemed neccessary. I also just finished HBO approx. two weeks ago. I suffered panick attacks and depression immediately following my radiation. I am still in thereapy and still on meds, pain and depression. I am trying like hell to get my life back, I have been online dating, it's the hardest thing I've ever had to do!!!
