My name is Madelaine and I am new to this site. I had an 8 hr surgery for squamous cell carcinoma under my tongue on 2/3/15 and 22 neck lymphmodes removed.They took a vein from my rigght forearm and a graft to help the hole after the cancer removal. Then I devloped a blood clot which they contained with another surgery the next day. Thankfully the nodes all came back negative for cancer and my Dr.s/ say no further treatment is necessary. I am now off the feeding tube and eating soft foods and liquids. Very tired. I am also a breast cancer survivor of 15 years.Grateful.

I am a 65 year old reitired woman. I have been married to a great man for 42 years. I had a right breast masectomy 15 years ago.





squamous cell carcinoma under my tongue was diagnosed earlier this month. I had surgery 2/3/15. 22 lymph nodes out of my neck came back negative for metasis. The Drs. say I do not need chemo or radiation. I'm off the feeding tube and now on a liquid/soft food diet. I see the surgeon again next week. I am grateful and optimistic.
