Tongue cancer in young people with no history of smoking or drinking seems to be on the rise, one doctor said.
“We’ve started to see anecdotally in the last 10 years ... a shift to a younger age group, and by younger, I mean below the age of 40, unrelated to previous drinking and smoking history,” Kirke told TODAY. “Early evidence suggests that this rise is true, but we actually don’t have all the data to say it’s true.”
“I’m just sort of nodding and trying not to cry,” Drablos said. “She was trying to be comforting. But given the way she was looking at me, it was like she knew how much my life was going to change.” “The surgery affected so many parts of my body," Drablos said."The flap they used to reconstruct my tongue involved major surgery on my left arm, and then they grafted with skin from my left leg,” she said.
She experienced burns from the radiation on her neck and generally felt unwell. But as she finished treatment around June 2021, she started improving. She took walks with her mom to improve her strength and did occupational therapy to learn how to reuse her tongue. Because her tongue has muscles from her arm, it doesn't work as naturally. She still struggles with eating, drinking and speaking but has been able to return to dancing. Many days she’s awed with how far she’s come.
