Hi, I'm 48 and was diagnosed with tongue cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) in February. None smoker, non drinker,no risk factors. Had a hemiglossectomy with neck dissection (lymph nodes and salivary glands--cancer free) beginning of March. Pathology results had shown a spec of cancer still, so had a second tongue surgery. Had a bit of rough time after 2nd surgery, but turned it around very positive outlook since. I'm very fortunate in that I haven't needed radiation or chemotherapy, my speech is, by everyone else's account, excellent (including speech therapist). Had follow-up appt after first PET scan today and still showing cancer. Surgeon examined and did not see any signs of cancer. Assured this is common to get a positive read after surgery. But I can't help being a little apprehensive about this and with all the tingling and slight throbbing in my tongue. Can anyone share any similar experience and insight? Thank you.
