I had surgery to remove 1/2 of my tongue and radiation for 7 weeks due to the two positive nodes. This was 4 years ago come May 10th. I had a PET scan done prior to my surgery, my oral surgeon wanted to know how much the c had spread. They did the neck dissection and out of I believe 28 nodes 2 were positive. Sorry I cannot help you more, you are in my thoughts....Carol
