My surgery is scheduled at Loma Linda University Med. Center which convened a tumor board to review my case (concurred with the head/neck surgeon's recommendations) and although it is a "teaching" hospital I'm not sure it meets the technical definition of a CCC - however, I am pleased to be treated there. I see that most on this forum have had RAD however my doc seems to downplay that possibility and that confuses me somewhat. The size of the excision (glossectomy) will most probably be about 5cm diameter in a round or oval shape and will require some reconstruction with the tissue from either under my chin or forearm.
