Her doctor never mentioned a 'stage' that her cancer was in, only that it had been caught early enough that it hadn't spread anywhere else. When we asked about doing a some type of scan to confirm that it wasn't elsewhere he said he was from the old school and didn't really use scans - ?
Should I insist on a scan - will it detect it? If so what type of scan.
The area of tongue that was removed was on the side/bottom at the very back and was about 2" long and 1 1/2" wide. He's wanting to do a graft since the cells growing back are unhealthy.
In my previous post I related the time frames to our children because he is thinking possibly that the hormone changes during pregnancy could be the cause, since she's doesn't smoke/drink.
Thanks for your responses - this board is a very helpful information source!
