Hi Penny, I�m almost your age. It�s hard to be young and into something like that. I was diagnosed with tongue cancer, T1N0M0. I think it�s really important right now that you can find a doctor that you can trust, a real good one. Don�t know where you like but I�ve made my best efforts, including spending money that I shouldn�t (my savings) to pay for a treatment that I hope it�s definitive.

Since our places seems to be different, about the pain I just had pain one week before surgery, afterbiopsy when everybody touched my tongue (almost a party).

Hope you get diagnosed soon and comeback here to tell that�s nothing! Have you been into antibiotics?

Best wishes! Keep calm and carry on!
