Hi
I’m a 36 year old male. I’ve just been diagnosed with tongue cancer. I have a small lump about the size of half a pea on the side of my tongue.
ive been for my CT scan and they say it looks good. I have been told that they hope they can just cut it out, but may have to have my lymph nodes removed too but they are hopeful it will just be cut out.
im still waiting on a final decision from doctors.
i love my wife very much but she has a habit of investing these things and finding the worst.
it says that I may only live for 5 years because I have tongue cancer, even after it is removed..
I would be very grateful If there is anyone on here that has had tongue cancer or knows what all this means?
thanks
