up with a Stage IV diagnosis. I've been cancer-free for 5 years now. What bothers me isn't any dream of that day, but the constant fear of a return. Every time I have a rough spot on my tongue or a sore spot on a gum, I almost panic until it starts to get better.

We have a 23 year old university student in my support group. She is fighting her second bout with cancer of the tongue in less than 2 years. Now that's scary.
