Hello I just found out I have squamous cells carcinoma. It's on my tongue. Next week I go in for surgery. They will remove about 2 cm of tissue. Plus a patch in my neck to replace the tissue in my tongue. Removal of my wisdom teeth and lymph nodes on the left side of my neck. I will have a trachea for about 5 days after surgery. I had a ft of my chest also yesterday to look for more cancer. No results yet. Pretty scared at this point. I'm in law enforcement, married with 3 children. Talking to them about it had to be the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Any news or info would be a great help. My wife has MS and she is a trooper. She doesn't let it get her down and I strive to be like her.
