I am just starting the battle with tongue cancer.I had a stage 2 cancer on the right side of my tongue,had it removed 2 weeks ago along with all the nodes on my right side,which all came back negative for cancer.Am recovering from the surgery fine,lost about1/3 of my tongue so I can still talk and am adjusting to eating.In 2 weeks I am to see about radation treatments and i have read some pretty nasty stories on here.Am wondering if anyone out there has bypassed the radation and still doing ok.The Dr that did my surgery says that he feels good about the surgery that he got all the cancer but the radation will be my call.He says it can come back whether I have the treatments or not.any advise out there.
