Hi Danbert - My son was also Stage 2 with no history of tobacco use. He had SCC under the right side of his tongue and had 1/6 of his tongue removed. He has been cancer-free for 6+ years now. It's good if you can bring someone with you to appointments so they can help you remember what the doctors tell you and check back with each other later. You can also browse thru the main pages of OCF and write down your questions ahead of time. With all the great people we have here to support you and guide you, you will do just fine!
