My sister (56) was just diagnosed with cancer of the tongue. Her doctor (GP) told her that she would need to have half her tongue removed and then have chemotherapy. She decided that she would try and pursue alternative therapies first (she went to a clinic in Mexico where they recommended a special diet). I would like to persuade her to consider the surgery, but she’s pretty freaked out by the idea of having part of her tongue removed (it’s also complicated by the fact that she doesn’t have health insurance). She doesn’t really use computers very much, so I can’t suggest she posts here herself.

What I would like is to find a support group/someone who has had the surgery that I could put her in contact with - she’s in Utah & I haven’t found anything local there.
