Ilene,

Thanks so much for your reply. I will print it out and give it to my mother. She has trouble reading off the computer.

Today she and I sat at the computer and I read her some of the posts from tongue cancer survivors. She was much relieved in that she was thinking the very worst. I know that "the worst" is going to pop up in her mind from time to time, but just knowing that people like you have survived and are out in the world is important. She had never before this diagnosis heard of anyone having tongue cancer and neither had I, so this site is a God send.

Thanks for your support.
