I was told I didn't fit the profile either, I was 44 when diagnosed with tongue cancer, non-smoker. I live in Bel Air, MD. when you mentioned the tumor board at U of MD, I just wanted to share that my surgeon and oncologist are both at Univ of Md and they have all taken excellent care of me. I am truly grateful to God and them, if you would like to email me sometime, here's the address: layers67@comcast.net Thanks, Carol I would enjoy chatting with you
