They have no idea why I have Tongue Cancer. The only thing is that I had a Hysteretomy in 1998 and I did not have cancer but I did have the Squamous Cells that they found on my tongue. So there could be a link but Cancer is so unknown that they can not confirm there is a for sure link. I have not heard how anyone that does not smoke got Oral Cancer. What have you heard or what did they tell you. I hear talk it's the water and food we get.
