Hello everyone!! My name is Susan and my sister was diagnosed with Stage 2 tongue cancer yesterday by a deep tissue biopsy. My family and I are devestated. She has been a long term smoker but you never think it would happen to anyone in your family. Well were we ever wrong.. I was wondering if anyone had treatment in NYC on here? We are so confused on who to go to. Any information would be greatly appreciated. She os getting out of the hospital today and we would like to follow up with a speacialist as soon as possible.
