Hi All,
I have been diagnosed with stage 2 cancer on the right side of my tongue. The tumor was removed but the cancer is past the tumor and another tumor ha appeared. I have an appointment with a radiologist and a PET Scan tomorrow. The doctor wants to do surgery on my tongue but I'm kinda reluctant to have my tongue restructured. Has anyone not had the surgery and just radiation? chemo? They are also talking about putting a tube into my stomach to feed me during the treatment. Has anyone had this? I'm trying to keep a positive attitude and going about my normal activities. Thanks in advance!
