Johanna,

6 months wow !!! I was a stage one and from diag Jan 22 ----I was in surgery on feb 9th... I dont know what you are waiting for !!! Your life will change ..no one will disagree there ..but do nothing ..your life will end. I had tongue cancer as well and I am a young mom(35) of 5 so I as well need to speak ( YEll). i also coach kids school teams .....You can do this...It is like a journey....Not like all the others you travel to europe, but none the less a journey, One you need to make and as scary and as rough as it is and is going to be I dont think you will regret it , you will live to tell about it . And luckily for you , you can speak other languages so you would be able to help others in other countries by telling your story ....Try to find a positive ..it helps. My Motto is Take everything one day at a time and some days on moment at a time and all is possible. I had no Risk factors ..No idea why I was "BLESSED" with this horrible disease.....But I believe that we dont have a choice in the hand we are dealt ..only how we play the hand...If you dont start playing my dear ...you are going to lose. Cus bluffin dont work in this game !
