I have looked at the stats for SCC on tongue and the recurrence rate is higher for that area than anywhere else. I'm assuming my RO knows this and is why he is wanting me to go for further treatment. I see more docs next week and I also need to set up an appointment with the dentist for fluoride treatments...teeth are in good shape and actually had cleaning/ filling in November. Now is gearing up for the rads....working out/bulking up and eating more calories.
