HI Rod
Please dont wait for a few weeks.. tongue cancer is considered as a naughty one.. it moves fast.. and even after extensive radiation therapy it can just crawl up back...
and its very beneficial to have 2 groups advising you. Not just surgeons, surgeons can be very quick in determining whats wrong, but oncologist can determine what is right treatment and when is right.
I wish you luck, and this is a really great group. Seriously
