Hi Ilyse, welcome. You are new here but really a veteran and survivor.

I�m so happy you survived more than 13 years to tongue cancer. Well, through mathematics I see that you had your tongue cancer really young 33 -(just like me, had mine when i was 29).

That�s makes me really curious about you and your recurrence. Afraid of.

What was your first cancer stage? Did you had nodes involved? Did you get free margins? Did you had radiation? I�ll be happy to be in touch with you and help in the way I can!

Best wishes!

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.
