HI, Thanks everyone for your advise. I will certainly get a second opinion.

minniemoo, Are you sure your doc said that your tumor was 15mm DEEP, not 15mm in diameter? 15 mm is little more than half an inch.
I think usually 15mm (1.5 cm) diameter tumor would be considered small enough not to require neck dissection.


12/2/10 Biopsy Tongue left near wisdom tooth.
DX Stage I Cancer. Partial left Glosectamy removed Tumor, diameter 2cm, depth >4mm.
12/3/10 CT neck and Chest: Negative. cDX: T1N0M0
1/6/11: Panendoscopy+neck dissection (because Tumor depth > 4mm)
