Hello, I'm a newbie here and looking to see if anyone else is as young as I am? I was 23 almost 4 when I was diagnosed at stage 4 with squamous cell carcinoma (my spelling sucks) in my tounge and 4 of 16 lymphnodes. I've done multiple surgeries, radiation and also chemo. I had a reoccurance about 3 years ago in my lungs, but it was a quick surgery and no other treatments. When I was going through everything I was surrounded by older persons that smoked or drank their entire lives that caused the cancer, and I didn't. I love to help people and am always willing to tell them what I went through to help answer their questions, or just to be there to listen to them but sometimes I just want to be able to relate to someone else. It was hard for me (I'm sure not matter what age you are it will never be easy) and I just want to let someone else that is like me to know that they aren't alone.
