Hello there everyone

I'm not exactly a newbie as I posted to the head and forum in 2013 when I was treated for a white patch on the right hand side of my tongue which turned out to be Leukoplakia with moderate dyspasla. At that time I was 35 years old

Nine years on I am now 44 years old and being treated for Squamous Cell Carcinoma on the right side of my tongue.

Just wanted to drop by and say hi. I'll post more about my diagnosis and treatment soon.

    I have the exact same condition. My leukoplakia has turned to scc twice. My doctor said no treatment to prevent but keep a close eye on it and can be lasered off
