Do yourself a huge favor and go to a cancer center for a second opinion. Do not hesitate. Call right away and tell them everything and that you need to be seen immediately. It could mean a completely different treatment plan which could potentially save some of your tongue. Here is a list of cancer centers and best hospitals. Good luck!!!! http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/resources/cancer_centers.htmhttp://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals ChristineSCC 6/15/07 L chk & by L molar both Stag I, age44 2x cispltn-35 IMRT end 9/27/07 -65 lbs in 2 mo, no caregvr Clear PET 1/08 4/4/08 recur L chk Stag I surg 4/16/08 clr marg 215 HBO dives 3/09 teeth out, trismus 7/2/09 recur, Stg IV 8/24/09 trach, ND, mandiblctmy 3wks medicly inducd coma 2 mo xtended hospital stay, ICU & burn unit PICC line IV antibx 8 mo 10/4/10, 2/14/11 reconst surg OC 3x in 3 years very happy to be alive | | |
