44 yrs old - partial glossectomy (rt side) October 5, 2005. Good margins on three sides - dysplasia on the fourth side. Cat scan of the rt side nodes came back clean. My ENT performed the surgery.

I'm getting a referral to our local cancer center. My biggest concerns at this point are: this cancer (such a scary word) has spread somewhere else and we just don't know it yet. My state of mind is poor...this is probably temporary, but I think it's a combination of things. My mother died of brain cancer in 2002....it was a horrible thing to watch and she put up a good fight...but in the end the cancer won. I have a three year old daughter, I am scared that she will have to grow up without me. She is the love of our lives and my husband is great with her. This is just so difficult on so many levels. I can't seem to snap myself out of the blues.
So glad I found this group. I am not much of a "chatter", but I can't do this alone.

Thanks,
Jenn
