Rahel I wear a mouth guard for roller derby and the part of my tongue where i had the SCC was where the mouth guard used to rub on. In fact I used to rub my tongue over the bumps of the guard quite subconcioulsy/unwittingly- so who knows? I also smoked for over 10 years (although quit a year before dx)so that's prob the more likley cause

SCC right lateral tongue. Intially thought to be cell dysplasia and dx as SCC after surgical excision.
Nov 2010- partial glossectomy (1cm in width), partial neck dissection. Margins clear, nothing found in nodes- YAY! Benign tumor on saliva gland.
