Hi KimberlyAnn,

So sorry you have to join us here but to echo what others have said this truly is the best place to get information and solace from people who have dealt with similar issues.

I was diagnosed on 3/24/14 and had absolutely no risk factors so I know it's quite a shock, especially when it's so new. The people here have given me wonderful advice and I'd like to pass some on to you. Take one step at a time. It's scary for everyone but people care and are here to help.

Good luck with everything!

3/2014: 25, no risk factors (nonsmoker, rare drinker, HPV negative) SCC right lateral tongue, T1N0M0 - well-differentiated; surgery - removal of tumor, salivary gland + neck dissection
11/2017 - ovarian torsion
12/2018 - basal cell skin cancer
