Welcome Jen! I can relate pretty well to what you are going through! I am 23 with no risk factors either. I was married 10.19.08 and my biopsy was 1 month later. I had my partial glossectomy and neck dissection 12.20.08. I am new to remission and I am going through a lot as well. I have a blog as well www.remissionorbust.blogspot.com

Feel free to contact me anytime [email protected]. I know that by having a contact for support and questions has helped so much. I look forward to talking with you!
