I was suppose to have surgery on August 27th but I put it on hold to look at some other alternatives.

I have read here and been told a bit about a portions of the tongue being removed and replaced with a flap that was skin from some other part of the body. Has anyone heard of and had experience with a portion of the tongue being removed and the remaining tongue being rotated to fill the gap created by the the gap created? It seems like a promising approach for it seems it would mean no loss of feeling, taste etc.and would maybe help reduce the possibility of asperation problems.

I have read here about folks having radiation for a second (sometimes even three times)and I wonder what the effects were like. As I understand it anything beyound a normal dose can be very detrimental. It has been suggested to me that Cyberknife would be worth considering but I wonder if a possible cell kill would be worth the risk considering other negative effects.
