Well, I finally had my 2nd Opinion appointment today, with a top surgeon at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. He 100% agrees with the treatment plan that was followed in my particular situation. Yay! I believe he is recommending two follow-up sets of CT scans, one at 6 months and one at a year, which my doctor wasn't real clear on (or on the fence about) so he'll send a note to my doc about that. Otherwise, I just need to be diligent with my appointments and hope/pray for the best!
Stage 1 SCC on tongue 3mm (7/1/14)
Biopsy had clean margins
Successful Surgery to remove more tissue and confirm wider margins (7/8/14)
Hoping I'm one of the lucky ones and this is just a small blip in my life, and just makes for a story of "how I spent my summer vacation" down the road.
