Intersting...people do get radiation more than once in the same location? I hadn't heard that before. I am being treated at Fox Chase Cancer Center. To my knowledge that is a CCC.

I am thinking it is time for a 3rd opinion. What I find to be frustrating is I've been seen at The University of PA (Penn) and Fox Chase. Both are supposed to great yet both doctors said they don't know why I keep getting recurrences. Shouldn't someone know something? And...the last surgery and biopsy were both my decision. My doctor didn't think I needed either. As it turns out I did need it. That was all based on how my tongue felt to me. That is a lot of pressure.
