Lisa --

Look for posts by misskate, who was diagnosed in 2007 and had a total glossectomy. (Go to the User List link, above, and click on M -- she's on the first page.) You can get her e-mail from her profile and write her. She is very generous in sharing her knowledge and kept a blog here that described her treatment experience.

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
