Hi Martha

I went thru a very similar process that it sounds like you might. I am 52, non-smoker, life-long athlete, light drinker, small sore pops up on tongue last year, stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma biopsy result on March 12, 2020. Surgery to remove half my tongue, rebuild it and all lymph nodes pn my right side was April 1. SCC found in one node. Radiation treatment was late May thru early July. Nobody allowed in the hospital or radiation visits with me due to C19.

It's a long process but I can tell you today, I am full go at work and exercise. This forum is an excellent source of support and information that I did not find until after most of my treatment was done. Good on you to be here now.

I had so many questions when I was in your seat. Please feel free to ask anything. I mean anything. I will send you a private message too as that is sometimes easier.

We are here to help and support. You can do this.
