I'm 38 and my docs told me that a few drinks here and there won't hurt me. Between my diagnosis and my surgery, though, I stopped drinking completely but since my surgery, I have had a couple, once my docs gave me the ok. With radiation and chemo, things might be different, though... I would certainly ask.


Carpe Diem!!
38, non-smoker, otherwise perfect health. Biopsy: 3/8/2012, SCC Dx Right Underside Tongue: 3/12/2012, Surgery: 4/11/2012 Partial Gloss + Neck Dissection to remove 29 nodes (all clear). No Rads or Chemo req'd. I believe my SCC was caused by product used in dental work.
