Hi all. First time here. Diagnosed with a malignant melanoma of the tongue in December 2002. Surgery in early 2003. Months of speech therapy. Found having this type of cancer difficult but found not having any type of support system even more difficult. As I go through the rounds of different exams / doctors/ x-rays/ct scans/bloodwork every few months I'm filled with anixiety that friends and co-workers just don't understand. Docs can offer no explaination or reason for the cancer. It's taking awhile but to find this board but here I am. Hope I'm at the right place.
