Young tongue cancer patient shares her story

Rita Avila was diagnosed with stage IV tongue cancer when she was 22 years old. After her initial rounds of treatment, she went back to her normal life as a college student. Then, a year and a half later, her cancer came back. She had to put her life on hold, again, to go through more chemotherapy and surgery.

Through her cancer journey, Rita made sure to write everything down in MD Anderson's Cancerwise blog. She found it helpful in expressing her feelings about cancer, and sharing her triumphs and tribulations with others.
