Kimberly,
My hubby was diagnosed with tongue cancer after they took a biopsy. However, it was two weeks later before our consultation on staging and the plan as far as surgery, etc. I believe between those times he had a CT scan and a chest xray. So we didn't know for two weeks how bad it was and what it all entailed.
Thanks and prayers are with you and your friends.
Debbie
