Hi @ezg and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You'll notice that I moved your message to the Head & Neck Cancer group. I did this so you can meet others with tongue cancer like @canziea @alpaca @loli and @wayno1234

Ezg, you sound very discouraged. I get that. Can you tell the group a bit more about you? What is your diagnosis? What treatments have you had so far? Any reconstruction?

Sorry to hear this @ezg. There is good treatment for tongue cancers. I have a reconstructed tongue made from tissue in my forearm and I'm okay. Hope you can tell us more.
