Dear Dee,
My husband Doug, who is 47 years old has also been recently been diagnosed with stage IV tongue cancer which has spread to both sides of his neck. He just finished radiation and chemo at the U of Michigan and will be having another biopsy in August. He is back to work one month after treatment and says he feels good. I know it is hard and it was very hard for me as well as I lost my brother to lung cancer within 3 mos of diagnosis a few years ago. Like Michael said, stay strong for her and from what I've been reading as well, and from all the wonderful people here, many people are winning the war against this dreaded disease. Take care and God Bless you and your mom
Sincerely,
Virginia
