Hello, My name is Stephen and I am an oral cancer survivor. I am so blessed to be able to say it has been 7 years and 9 months since I was diagnosed with SCC on the base of my tongue; and as far as I know I'm cancer free. I've been following this support forum for a while, and finally decided to register and introduce myself. I finally decided to join for 2 reasons: I am terrified to say I think I might be experiencing a reoccurrence and have no one to talk to about it; yet despite that I believe my story may still be able to help someone (I hope). That's all for now. Thanks
