I’m a 27 year old woman who was just diagnosed with tongue cancer today. (Second youngest person my surgeon has ever seen)
I don’t even know what to say. But it’s well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma don’t know what stage yet but it’s almost the size of a US 50¢ piece (3cmx3cm). I will be getting surgery and scans/further testing done asap. I feel so bad for my poor mom. Any support, kind words or positivity would go a long way. All my drs thought I had lupus or crohns with oral manifestations because of my family history and how many systemic symptoms and pain I’ve had for so much longer than this so we just hope it’s isolated. My primary Dr was so excited to tell me that I didn’t have lupus a couple months ago and I was instantly upset which she was confused by. I have moments of crying spells and I woke up feeling like every cell in my body was pounding and throbbing and I have terrible migraines that cause referred pain. I feel so bad for my sweet dog as well she loves me so much. I’m so deeply sorry for everyone who’s suffering from this so much love to you all.
