The first 2 surgery's they didn't get clear margines. I was probably more a T2 after they finally got the clear margines, due to the size of the cancerous area. My doctor never changed the official diagnosis so neither did I. I wonder if the reason you can't stick your tongue out, is make they took tissue from the tip of your tongue. I think they did some of mine. Just a thought.
