It sounds to me like you have oral tongue cancer (had) but the use of base of tongue is confusing as this is not visible to the human eye, do you mean under your tongue or down your throat. I too would question the chemo because on this type of cancer chemo is normally used in conjunction with radiation, to enhance the radiation. Take care and try not to worry...
