HI Chip! I'm new to this site also, with SCC of the base of the tongue. I also felt that I was the only one with this. This is definetly a great site with alot of helpful and kind people. It overwhelms me sometimes to actually know how many people there are out there just like us. Take care. Linda

Chip,

Where are you from in WI? I am from central WI (near Eau Claire) and I went to college at UW-Oshkosh.

Welcome to the site. It is very helpful and it will definitely make you feel like you are not alone.
