Hi I’m glad to have found this. There is so much to learn and I’m thankful for your willingness to help. I already have some good questions to ask my doctor. I am recently diagnosed and things are moving so fast. I was diagnosed with scc on my tongue, I have a surgery date in a few weeks. I want to be a patient that challenges and understands And Is an advocate for my own treatment, but truth is I have no idea where to look and what to ask and where to divide my energy since I’m a working mother of 2 beautiful young kids. My doctor seemed very knowledgeable and quickly set a surgery date but truth is I still am getting testing done. The center I am going to is reputable, but Where do you find more information to see if it’s the right one? Or even where to get a second opinion. Also I am concerned about my anxiety. I have a hard time sleeping and my heart is racing, my bp pretty high, which freaks me out more. Any tips on that regard? Lastly I’ve told close family and my work but having trouble with calling others, I simply hate talking about it even though they would surly be supportive.
