Wow, thanks everyone. Definitely some extra stuff to think about. I really appreciate you sharing your wisdom and experiences with me.

If it does turn out to be cancer I'd definitely want to treat it as viciously as possible. David, you didn't have any surgery and this obviously worked really well for you but Paul you wish you had the surgery first. I should find out the results from the tongue biopsy next week which will give us an idea whether this lymph node is related to it or not and then we can move forward from there.

It is what it is... just need to find out now and deal with it as best we can.

Thanks again.
