Betty: Sounds familiar. Diagnosis was the same for me BUT the good doctor chose to surgically remove part of my tongue and then , ta the same time , did a radical whatever ot my neck to assure the lymphnodes aren't involved. He says that all was clear BUT I am to see him on 1/19. Candidly I believe he is now oging to introduce the Radiation route
