Hi David &Philly- Welcome here. I am so sorry to hear of the recent diagnosis. i am 35 and was diagnosed at 33. March 2007 with tongue cancer. I had a full glossectomy. There aren't as many people in the younger demographic who get this so I just want you to know I am here for you.
I know you are probably in shock and very frightened. If I can help in any way with questions or just as a person to vent to please let me know.
Just gather as much information as you can and stay positive.
Thinking of you.
KATE
