Hi. I quit visiting here last Fall sometime, but since this is the one-year anniversary of my surgery, I thought I'd pay a visit. Still looks like there is great support here - but I hope to continue not needing it!
Tomorrow marks my one year anniversary. I continue to see my ENT every two months, and have had one 6-month CT with another due in August. Then I believe the plan is one more in a year. Things are fine so far, and I'm really hopeful things stay that way. I still believe that my occurrence may have been caused by a chronic irritation from orthodontia, so hopefully less likely to have a recurrence. But if I ever need it, I know where to come for support!
Stage 1 SCC on tongue 3mm (7/1/14)
Biopsy had clean margins
Successful Surgery to remove more tissue and confirm wider margins (7/8/14)
Hoping I'm one of the lucky ones and this is just a small blip in my life, and just makes for a story of "how I spent my summer vacation" down the road.
