Hi Wife....welcome to OCF. There are many people here that are educated enough to answer your questions. I am not one of them:) I had tongue primary and have only been treated surgically.

That said...I know a lot of people have radiation. It's a long road and is not easy. He will need your support and help. WendyG and her husband Steve have just gone through treatment. Wendy has a blog called "My Steve" and it is an inspiring story.

Good luck to you and your husband. We are here for you.

Suzanne
