I had my appointment today.
Luckily my lymph nodes were clear.
The doc has suggested another small surgery in a few weeks - excision of top layer from the tongue scar where operation took place. They say it is similar to biopsy where they want to take a bit more tissue from the 'safety margin' and to check whether all bad cells are gone. As I understand it's more extensive than normal biopsy as it will be under general anaesthesia.
I wonder whether anyone else (especially those who haven't proceeded to radiotherapy) had similar simple surgery after the main one?
I would be keen to hear any other thoughts what people think about my treatment.
Regards
Max
