Initially in the first hospital (where the initial biopsy was taken) they recommended for the Surgery however we were informed that the Tongue will be partially removed and the jaw muscle where the tumour is located will also be removed and they did not give any assurance about the survival and a bit harsh. The next visit in the Adyar Cancer Institute informed that they can give radiation/chemo and he can survive without a surgery for couple of years and if required the surgery will be done thereafter. It is actually in the base of his tongue and going to the neck. The tumour is in the base of the jaw below right molar. 5 tooth have been removed for radiation. And now after recurrence they are not willing to do the surgery suggesting him to look for other Private hospitals for the surgery.

We are trying to consult another Oncology surgeon for a surgery opinion. But my doubt is, Is it advisable to perform the surgery now or will it affect more ?
