Hey BJ! I am brand new here. In fact, I don't even have an introductory thing yet. Hey, I was 44, never smoked or chewed in my life, and I was absolutely shocked to learn I had oral cancer, and then learn the hard way what a 'partial glossectomy' is. I am 50 now, and am still battling my 3rd occurrence of OC. (although I have heard my docs say "tongue cancer." whatever.) Best wishes to you!
