Hi Andrea,

You are where I was on March 22, 2005. Moderately differentiated scc of the left lateral border of the tongue. I did not find this wonderful forum until after my surgery on April 6th. It would have been a bit easier for me if I had the information and help available from this site and it's members.

Please feel free to contact me via email or private message if you feel that I can help at all, having been through this less than 6 months ago.

I want you to know that I am doing well and have been back to 99% for quite awhile. I hope that you will have as much success fighting this disease.

Jerry
