Hi there,

I am new here. I am 46 and found a spot on my tongue. I went to my dentist who referred me to an oral surgeon for a biopsy. I see the oral surgeon in two weeks and I am scared to death. frown

I smoked for 29 years but quit on March 15, 2012. I do not miss it one bit. I am so happy to be rid of that habit! grin

I do not drink.

My grandfather died from oral cancer at 42 years old. I am not sure what kind he had but he was a heavy smoker and he was a heavy drinker.

I am glad to have found this forum. Well sad to be here really due to the reason for being here but I feel comforted knowing I am not alone.

Take care,
Mich
