My sister was just diagnosed with invasive tongue cancer. I have had breast cancer so we are quite concerned. She lives in Clearwater, FL and I want her to go to the Moffit Cancer Center. She's had lesions for 20 years but never invasive cancer. On Friday she had a procedure to remove more lesions but the surgeon found cancer in lymph nodes and now has her scheduled for more extensive surgery Feb 4. Unfortunately her doctor has left town for the week and we can't get more info but it sounds like he's planning a glossectomy and told her to expect rads and chemo.
It sounds like Andy Trotti is a well respected RO at Moffit. Does anyone have a recomendation for a surgeon there also? I'd like her to at least talk to another doctor before such major surgery. Any info would be sincerely appreciated. Thank you.
