I have been monitored for a year and a half by an oral surgeon for dysplasia on the right side of my tongue and gums. My
most recent biopsy showed that I have squamous cell carcinoma on my tongue. I was also told that the doctor did not get all of the cancer and I am going to see the head and neck surgeon tomorrow. I hope that I have early stage tongue cancer that can be treated with surgery and radiation because I am not a candidate for chemotherapy. This is my third kind of cancer and I am angry about the diagnosis and terrified about the side effects of radiation treatment
