Hello, I was diagnosed with tongue squamous cell carcinoma, T1N0M0, treated by surgery alone it was 3 years ago, I was just 19 years old



No family history of oral cancer but family history of breast cancer
My 3 older brothers are totally fine, never had cancer

I just got some genetic testing for some gene :, ATM, p53.. And none of them were mutated

My doctor send me to a hospital to check if I have any genetic instability : they will test my lymphocyte with some substance and see if they can repair themselves

I read many stories about young people with SCC and it terrify me, I saw some young people here who have recurrence of dysplasia / scc in different area and it's very worrying

You can't really live a normal if you have to worry for every bump in your mouth...

Now I'm just waiting for the final part of the genetic test, to see if I'm predisposed to any cancer...
