Hello, Babak41.

I'm sorry that you've recently had a diagnosis of tongue cancer. Hopefully, it was caught early. If you had symptoms and sought help within the first 2 weeks, that may be an indication that you caught it early, which is the best thing you could have done.

I know your world has been turned upside down right now. As Christine said, please create a signature so we can help you a lot more.

I hope the ball has begun to roll and you've been referred to a Comprehensive Cancer Center and plans are being set in motion for you. I look forward to hearing from you and you can do this!

Take care and best wishes!

Kerri
