It's very lucky for Kim that she has a brother that is not only a dentist, but one that canrecognize tongue cancer. Sorry to read that another one of our colleagues missed the diagnosis.
You didn't mention where she is being treated and I hope that it is at a Comprhensive Cancer Center. Your emotional support as well as your helping her make decisions about any treatment options, will certainly be a big help for her.
If you would like to speak directly to me for any reason, send me your phone number in an email, as well as a good time to call.
