Hi Donna, thank you for responding. Do you mind if I ask where your cancer was located? Was it base of tongue? My sister was never offered chemo when she was first diagnosed, only radiation and surgery. She had a small tumor on her tongue inside her mouth and 2 of her lymphnodes tested positive. We are wondering why she was never offered chemo in conjunction with the radiation when she was first diagnosed, especially since the cancer has returned as a base of tongue tumor.
