Oral cancer

Less than one minute read time.
Hi there, I have, in the last eight months, had an operation for cancer of the tongue, whereby half my tongue was removed and replaced with a "flap". I had a skin graft on my arm to replace the skin taken for the flap and lymph nodes taken from my neck to test for further cancer. Thankfully, I am clear and in remission and very, very positive about the future. I would love to have contact with other people who have experienced the same cancer as mine, just to chat and become friends would be great.

    I haven't had the same type, but I just wanted to say well done for beating it.  I'm happy you're in remission and we've got some good news for today.

    You might want to also post this on one of the forums, as these Blogs get pushed off stage very quickly, whereas the forums are easier for people with the same type to find, and get refreshed when someone posts a response.

    Hi Ezmo - I don't have the same type of cancer, but that doesn't stop me from offering the hand of friendship, and to say that you've found and joined a very good "club" for meeting people who are willing to say hi and have a wee chat - about anything! Lots of love from  kate xxxx

    Hi Ezmo, I just sent you a friend request, I have had a very similar operation where I had my tongue totally removed and a skin graph on my thigh to make the flap. I am currently waiting to start my treatment and I am thrilled to hear you are in remission. Hopefully I will be jointing you in 2014 as my treatment finishes on Christmas Eve!!!!!!!!
