| Hello Kelley and welcome to our site  . I was 32 when I was first diagnosed with tongue cancer so yes I understand completely what you are talking about and what you have gone thru. It came back after 10 years, can you imagine :bomb: ! Hell I thought I was thru, done, finished. I thought that I would never ever never have to go thru that again. But it had different plans for me. I wish I would have known this, I would have done the things that I always wanted so badly to do, I thought I had time tho. I was only 42! That time it was worse tho. Then it came back again in 2003. This time is the worst! I am still recoperating from the surgery. You can read my story on the site. Vicki's story. So Kelley if you need to talk, scream, yell, vent, cry, that is what we are here for. .Lean on us. We have all been where you are at. I have also come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter if you are 22 or 62, this is horrible at any age.  ..Always, Vicki |

| Hello Kelley Welcome. You might find Clare's post of interest. She was only 19 when she had her operation for a tongue cancer last year. She also posted in Grab your coffee,this may take a minute. Best wishes Vinod :coffee:

| Hello Vicki It was indeed you that started the topic, but I was trying to tell Kelley about Clare who also described her 'lonely feeling' and was looking for another young adult  to talk to. Best wishes Vinod  (trying not to be noticed)
