Kelley,
We are from Michigan too! My husband was Dx with tongue cancer in Dec 2002. He had surgery in Feb (2/3 of tounge removed) he is only 42 years old. He also had 33 radiation treatments. Anyway I dont know where you are in Michigan, but they have started a head an neck cancer support group @ Beaumont Hospital in Troy. The group just started last week. My husband went, he was so excited to talk to people in his situation. He said it was great. If you are interested let me know I send you the details
