I was recently diagnosed with cancer on my tongue. I have had an oral surgeon watching this for almost 10 years. I have had many biopsies over this time and this time I was not so lucky. I have never smoked, chewed or drank so it is kind of a mystery why I have this. I have now been to a second dr, a ear nose and throat surgeon who came highly recommended for this problem. Of course I am pretty shook up about surgery to remove part of my tongue, but I feel the cancerous tissue must be removed so I can do my best to get rid of this. I guess I am just looking for people who have been or are now going through this kind of surgery. They are going to remove the lymph nodes in that side of my neck also. The CT didn't show any other problems, so hopefully they can control it from spreading. Radiation is about a 50% chance they say, depending on how the lymph nodes come out. Hope you all can share your experiences. Thanks
