Ugh. I know that feeling. I had my sore on my tongue for about a year before I saw a doctor. Not a smoker, not a dipper, not a heavy drinker, healthy my whole life, eat well, runner, surfer, skier, blah, blah, blah. Never thought it could be cancer until my new dentist grabbed me by the shoulder and said "Nels, you have to promise me you will call your doctor tomorrow morning." It was the look in his eye and tone in his voice. Suddenly, I realized I was likely in for a real health challenge.

Boy do I wish I had even known what tongue cancer was. Never heard of it much less this website and forum. If I had sent a simple note on this forum after a month or two, I would have been way ahead. Good on you for reaching out and staying on top of all this.
