I'm sorry to hear about your Mom.
I had tongue cancer and only surgery. I didn't have radiation or chemo because the cancer had not spread to the lymphnodes. I did have ND to make sure there were no cancer cells hiding. I also had a CT/PET Scan to see if there was any cancer in my lungs and throat.
Her Dr. will tell her what stage when he gets the results from the biopsy and after surgery.
The surgery I had was not as bad as I thought it would be. I know the worry is there I worried myself sick.
Stay strong nothing is going to happen to your Mom. Sounds like she caught it in the early stage.
Take care, Keep us posted.
