Hello Everyone, I'm Damien.
I was recently Diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the tongue. HPV Negative. I have completed my CT Scan which came back clean. Phew, but not out of the woods yet as I have read.
I am scheduled for my PET scan tomorrow. Who wants to watch the Super Bowl and eat wings and laugh at the commercials anyway. LOL

Anyway thank you all for posting so much Information about your experiences it is helping me understand the road I have ahead of me.

I do not have a surgery date but feel it will be coming fast.
It's amazing how unprepared you are until someone says you have Cancer.
I have lots of things to do to ensure no matter the outcome my family is taken care of.
I have two boys both young way 20's. I have a new 4 month old grandbaby that is cute as hell.
I am waiting to tell my family after I know the full treatment and recovery plan.

Any advise on how to break the news will be appreciated.
