It affects everyone differently. There are people that have problems from day one and then I didn't have problems until the last week. It just depends. I think on average, it starts bothering people around the 3rd week? But I would be prepared for any time.
Stephanie, 23, SCC on the right side of my tongue, surgery on 5-19-08, over half my tongue removed, free flap constructed from my forearm, bilateral neck dissection, one positive node. Radiation (32) and chemo (carboplatin) started on 6-16-08. Recurrence 4/09 in lungs.
**** Stephanie passed away 12.15.09.... RIP our dear friend****
