This is such an interesting thread. Although I am sorry all of you have had to go through this, it is comforting to know that I am not alone. I was diagnosed in Jan. 2018 with microinvasive carcinoma measures 0.25 mm. I had a partial tongue removal and neck dissection with the removal of 29 lymph nodes. I smoked less than a pack of cigs during my early teen years, drank some in college but I haven't had a drink in 20 years. I think it is interesting that most of us had it on the right side. I had not thought about the cell phones, but I was concerned about my long use of Aleve and Tramadol. I sleep on my right side and wondered if the toxins had pooled there. I did have a complete hysterectomy in 2004 so have been on estrogen patches as well. My surgeon also stated that they are seeing a higher number of women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s with low risk factors being diagnosed. There has to be a connection. Thank you for sharing your stories and I feel lucky to have found this group.
