    Hi,
    I did not have tongue cancer. Mine was tonsil cancer. Nevertheless, both of those cancers are considered "head and neck" cancers or oral cancers. If you go to the discussion boards and click on the section for Head and Neck Cancer, you will find others with tongue cancer. There is also another website for oral cancer patients. It is a really active site with lots of members. The address is http://oralcancersupport.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=cfrm
    I hope this helps. Good luck to you!
