A friend was recently diagnosed with squamous cell
cancer of the tongue. He(age 52) is scheduled for surgery on this Thursday
to have the tumor removed (about 1/3 of tongue) and a neck dissection (removal
of lymph nodes). I have been searching the web for information on this type of
cancer and have found some general information, but was looking for information
from people who have had this same type of cancer who could share information on
the surgery and treatments.
I have also not had much luck looking for
cancer forums that would be helpful, any suggestions? Visiting many of the
sites, I can see how important it is for survivors to share their
stories, I am trying to obtain some "good news" to share prior to his
surgery.Thanks for any information you can
share.
