I turned 23 about two months before I was diagnosed with stage three (borderline stage 4) SCC on the right side of my tongue. I was put through the ringer with surgery in May and then I finished radiation and chemo at the end of July. I have officially been in remission since October. I didn't have any of the risk factors either, never smoked, drank maybe a couple times a year, no family history of cancer, etc... and I've always been very healthy - but I guess that's the way it is sometimes.
Maybe some of the other young'ns will come out of the woodworks and say hi. I have a blog listed in my profile if you need some entertainment. I started it when I was diagnosed and I still keep up with it.
Anyway, welcome to the boards!
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****
