Hi, I just found out yesterday that the doctor is fairly certain my Dad has cancer on his tongue, although a biopsy still has to be done. It looks as though it has spread to the lymph nodes due to a lump on his neck. The doctors say it is "advanced", and he will require readiation and chemo, although I'm not sure abobut surgery. I also found out that my Dad has had this lump for quite some time and other symptons - coughing, difficulty swallowing. He is 63 years old and scared, as we all are.
