Since tumor is visible clearly and will be a viable option to lose 1/4 to 1/3 of tongue. Doctor don't want to use camo+Rad in first line of treatment at this point. According to reports I rad, he clearly mentioned in his recommendations that he had offered me surgery+rad for treatment unless I want different combination of treatment by choice. Taking Second and third opinion which I'll add (edit) here only.
