Sharifah --

That link will enable those here who have been through the full treatment process to compare what is offered at that hospital to the best practices in the US, UK, Canada and elsewhere and offer relevant comments. My husband's SCC was removed at the very earliest stage in an excisional biopsy, and he did not undergo any additional treatment. So far so good (knock on wood).

As for other relevant postings, you might look for those by misskate, who also had a total glossectomy. In addition to her many replies to questions, she kept a running thread in the OCF Cancer Blogs forum about her diagnosis and treatment.

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
