My husband also had a base of tongue cancer that was diagnosed at the dentist's office. It is almost 2 years since his first surgery. I echo the advise given here. Be sure you are seen at a major cancer center...maybe even two of them. Second opinions are only going to help. Get as much information as you can. Knowledge is power. This site and its links are the best sources of information I could find. And lastly hit it with all the treatment they suggest. I still feel if Jack's oncologists had included chemotherapy the first time around, he wouldn't have needed it the third time.

Be sure to take care of yourself. This is a rough one on caregivers as well as patients. The advise on this site has kept me sane.

Keep us updated as he gets into treatment.
