Hi Sybil and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you had to have a tumour removed from your tongue and it's natural to want to connect with others who may have experienced something similar.
I can see that you've already joined and posted in the head and neck cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
While you're waiting for replies from the other members of that group, it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
