I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue after biopsy results came back positive on Sept 12th. I was sent to a Head & Neck oncologist who reviewed the CT scan and now I'm scheduled for a hemiglossectomy and neck dissection on Oct 6th. Then after recovery I'll be undergoing radiation and chemo. I'm in my mid-40s and really wasn't expecting something like this so soon.
I work as a software engineer and love to play board games, my favorite for the last several years is called Spirit Island. I live in the Pacific Northwest, in fact it's my second time living here: the first time around I was working for a small startup that went under and had to move back to the South but luckily I eventually got the opportunity to move back. I can't take the heat and humidity down there anymore!
Diagnosed 9/12/25 SCC of tongue Scheduled for Hemiglossectomy and neck disection 10/6/25
