My brother was diagnosed with tongue cancer in November 2016. He went to Mayo in FL. They removed most of the tumor, stated they were afraid to break his jaw to get to all of it and did radiation. He received clear margins. He went back for a follow up and was told the cancer came back in the same spot. They waited weeks before scheduling the surgery to remove 1/2 the tongue and reconstruction. When he went for the pre-op, they said not only did it spread to the other side of the tongue, but it also spread to other parts of his mouth and starting down his throat. They have said there is nothing else they can do. He is scheduled to undergo chemo but it sounds like this is just to help with pain. I'm desperate to find someone to help him. I'm afraid we are all losing hope.
