Look for posts by misskate, who had a total glossectomy five years ago at age 33. During her treatment she kept a blog of her experiences, and she's still active on the OCF boards -- a real inspiration.

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
