OP "OCF Kiwi Down Under" Supporting Member (50+ posts) Joined: May 2013 Posts: 63 | Chased up the surgeon today as he was reviewing the CT scan with the radiologist and she is also "suspicious of the right base of tongue area". Biopsy is still scheduled for next Tuesday (28th) and they've brought forward the neck surgery if there's no tumour to the Wednesday or Thursday (29th/30th). Not sure what that means if they do find something but hoping it doesn't come to that.
Thanks Paul. Tammy I may contact you if need be and really appreciate the offer. Thanks also to David & Christine.
