If you click on the link, it takes you to the hospital where you can look up doctor profiles or any other info. Don't know how far Charleston is from Camden, but maybe someone else will know the area. I would be sure and find out what stage and any other information you can get. Maybe your brother could get a copy of his medical files so he could have it ready when asking for a second or third opinion. Having his tongue removed seems pretty drastic. My son had squamous cell cancer under his tongue and only had 1/6 of his tongue removed and doing fine and cancer free more than 5 years later. Let us know what happens.
Anne-Marie CG to son, Paul (age 33, non-smoker) SCC Stage 2, Surgery 9/21/06, 1/6 tongue Rt.side removed, +48 lymph nodes neck. IMRTx28 completed 12/19/06. CT scan 7/8/10 Cancer-free! ("spot" on lung from scar tissue related to Pneumonia.)
