My son, 27 was diagnosed on Jan 21, 2014 with Stage IV Tongue cancer that also spread to the lymph nodes in his neck. He did have insurance and his friends have started a fundraising website for him. He is scheduled for surgery to remove 1/2 of his tongue along with lymph nodes on the left side of his neck. He is young and strong and has a lot of friends and family support
