Kent --

In particular, look for postings by misskate, who had tongue cancer and a total glossectomy. She kept a blog of her experiences that could be very helpful to you. You can send her a private message by clicking on her name in any of her posts.

In addition to the Search box in the upper right corner of the forum pages, which searches only the message boards, there is also a search link in gold at the bottom of each message-board page. That links to the search engine of the main OCF site, where Brian and others maintain pages and pages of information about oral cancer, all vetted by OCF's science advisory board.
