Got the biopsy results yesterday for the tongue and mouth area - no cancer! We are very relieved.
My doctor then turned to the lymph nodes and is recommending selective dissection of levels 1-4 and the retropharyngeal node. I will start a new post in the proper forum on that topic because I want to learn more from those who have gone through it.
