Magdalena, Yes you are young to have this kind of trouble! Oral cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) does sometimes spread to other locations, the lungs are one of them.

Are they considering surgery?

What hospital are you being treated at?

I can understand you just fine! smile

Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
