Hi,
An oral surgeon performed biopsy and results came 100% positive. I have a tongue cancer. Still awaiting to meet experts team to go through staging.
Tumor is visible on right side of my tongue and is about 2 CM in radius as I can see clearly everyday.
I was diagnosed on Dec 4, 2013.
Will keep you posted once staging is done. I am telling you man, this is the worst thing anyone can have in their life.
Still, it's life, stay with your family and move on with treatment options with full confidence. Worry will adversely affect your recovery pattern and will keep you morally weak. Please feel free to share your thoughts, experience and feelings here. So positive outlook with bunch of hopes is necessary to win this battle...
