I was diagnosed with T1N0M0. Fortunately i didnt got radiation, just surgery - one for the mouth and another for the neck.
Im still speaking a bit strange, but eating perfectly normal. Able to eat anything i want, fortunately. The only thing that bothers me is that i cant stick my tongue all over my mouthnsince i had primary closure. But fortunately my tongue is almost preserved.
My neck nodes were all free, which made me so happy. My tumour was 0,7 x 0,5 x 0,6 depth... But i lost about 2x3cm of my tongue.
Did u had any risk factors? I had none of them...
December, 2011 - T1N0M0 SSC Oral Tongue sugery (Dec 07, 2011). Partial glossectomy, primary closure. Selective Neck dissection, all 57 nodes free. 29 at diagnosis, no risk factors at all. No smoking, drinking and HPV negative. Can you explain? I can't.
