I'm 6 weeks, doing well after surgery. As much as I get information and comfort from this forum it also scares me. Scares me because of the reoccurrence I hear about. The bravery is uplifting, but still I am scared when I read about it. I have a door in my head that I shut when I had breast cancer and only opened if I had a Dr. appt. or I could help someone with my knowledge and practical advice. I can't live thinking about it, and yet this site is a comfort of knowledge and wonderful people.
As usual my brain is getting different signals.

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.
