Good for you, NS - for taking action and getting the biopsy! Your great attitude will definitely go a long way in getting you through whatever you have to do to beat this cancer beast! My son was only 33 and a non-smoker when he was diagnosed with SCC. It appeared as a small lump under the right side of his tongue. He had put off seeing a doctor until it grew to what I could see as about the size of a quarter. Paul is doing great, now almost 7 years later! You will get through this. You have lots of support, compassion and knowledgeable people here to help you through this. Hang in there!
