I was diagnosed at 44, I am almost two years out and am so grateful to be alive. I too, went through the filing of the teeth, etc, as the sore grew, even had a biopsy in April that came back as NOT cancer, lo and behold in May, I had another Oral Surgeon look at me and tell me it was squamous cell carcinoma, mine went into two lymph nodes,had seven weeks of radiation. The staged mine as IV due to the lymph node involvement. I will be praying for you, God Bless, Carol
