I did not have radiation or chemo the first time I had a partial glossectomy (40%). The new tumor is 3.3 cm and is buried in the mass of the tpunge. If the radiation and chemo do not work the only path is removal of the tounge, but we will not know untill appx. 5 weeks of treatment. If the tumor has started decreasing in size then the entire 37 radiation treatments 2 chemo treatments a week will be done. Yes, I also feel the from conversations with the Doctors that the return was a result of something left behind.
I start radiation treatment 7/6/05.
