ACk. I am 23 and just finished treatments at the end of July for stage IV tongue cancer so I know exactly how you feel. I think Christine is talking about Hayley. We both have blogs that we keep updated if you want to check them out (they're a good way to keep family updated without having to make phone calls). Mine starts back at the beginning when I got my diagnosis. You definitely have the age advantage for getting through this! Keep us posted on all your tests and treatment plans. The people on here are great and are super helpful. You can private message or email me if you have any questions or care to vent. It's a lonely world out there being young with cancer sometimes.
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****
