Thank you very much for the info.I'm pushing hard for radiation, or chemo plus radiation. I definitely don't want to lose my entire tongue if I don't have to. I should have more information Wednesday. I hate how the waiting makes the days feel like months. Nothing about this journey has been quick or pleasant. I'm thankful for all of the support and information.
