Sandy

I am sorry about your diagnosis. You have found the right place for support and information. You can search both the main site and the postings for information on just about anything.

My 2nd tumor was in my tongue, but not at the base. Are you being treated at a Cancer Center? What choices have the doctors given you for treatment? Found early these cancers are very treatable and survivable.

I wish you the best.
