Hi Magdalena,

I'm only a few years older than you (30), I've not had your specific issue of spreading to the lungs, but I do have cancer of the tongue also.

I was diagnosed on Oct 29th, and had two surgeries in November. I don't smoke or drink either, and am still reeling from the apparently random unfairness of this.

My thoughts will be with you.

Tamara


Diagnised 29th Oct 08 (29 years old): SCC, T2N1 - partial glossectomy (25%); flap construction (twice - first one died); neck dissection 8 nodes removed, 1 node positive; trache - 14 days, partially collapsed lung. No radiation at this time.
