I didn't have Chemo but from reading people on here I never heard of 6 shots once a month for Chemo.
Why didn't your Surgeon do surgery first? I don't understand seeing that's the way I think it's done here with Tongue Cancer. Biopsy, CT/PET Scan, surgery and if the lymph nodes are involved then Radiation and Chemo, that's my understanding.
I think it's time for a second opinion at a Cancer Center.
Hope all goes well for you.
