I am a 57 year old man living in Palm Springs area of California. I was DX 12/17/10 with SCC in the right lateral tongue. Started with a small lesion in 8/2007 that was DX benign after loop biopsy and although regularly brought to the attention of various physicians, dentists, etc. was not tested again until it rapidly became 3+cm . Scheduled for partial glossectomy with selective neck dissection at CCC on January 21, 2011. I found this forum and would appreciate any feedback, advice, etc. Also would like to connect with someone in similar stage of treatment.
