Our problems started right after my husband had a root canal done. Coincidence?? We'll never know.

I like to look at it more as a blessing in desguise as we would have never known about the cancer if the endodontist had not nicked his tongue and caused it to get infected.

wife to 36 yr old husband diagnosed with SCC on 7/6/05, tongue dissection and radical neck dissection on 7/15/05, 2nd biopsy on 9/15/05 and found carcinoma in-situ. Starting radiation and chemo on Oct 05
