Never smoked in my life, and drink only occasionally. I had major surgery, two flaps built as my first one died. No radiation at the moment, but I've been strongly encouraged to get a second opinion - which I'm doing.
Take care and keep in touch.
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.
