Thanks all, I feel like I am in a nightmare.....I hate OC, it is one of the worst cancers to get, but I am preaching to the choir. I mean the first time was devastating, the second horrible with the jaw split and now this. I can only hope and pray my petscan just shows it on the tongue. Thanks for all your support, I really need it!


Diagnosed May 2002 with Stage IV tongue cancer, two lymph nodes positive. Surgery to remove 1/2 tongue, neck dissection, 35 radiation treatments. 11/2007, diagnosed with cancer of soft palate, surgery 12/14/07, jaw split. 3/24/10, cancer on tongue behind flap, need petscan, surgery scheduled 4/16/10
