I'm 28 so hadn't even considered it until it was "too late". I wonder if, assuming I beat the cancer, I'd be able to get a reasonable policy 5 years down the road. I won't hold my breath.

Diagnosed 6/05. Stage III SCC of the oral tongue. Nodes showed negative upon biopsy. 7/25/05 started Chemo of Cisplatin & Erbitux & 30 IMRT Sessions + daily Ethyol. 12/9/05, 75% hemi-glossectomy. Recovering since.
