My root cause for getting oc was this Actinomycosis. It caused a sore on my tongue that would not heal. This went undiagnosed for 17 years. The occurance is one in three hundred thousand. Has anyone here delt with this, or have any of your doctors mentioned it? I don't have much faith in my doctor right now.


SCC tongue stage 3. 43 nodes clear.
Surgery in 1996. 2nd surgery
