thanks to all for taking the time to respond. Am spending the next few days reading, so any futher suggestions are appreciated.
I am having trouble deciphering the diagnosis if anyone can help. Dr. says T2 N1 stage 3, but calls the neck and area around the tumor as positive for metastatic squamous cell carcinoma??? Would this not be stage 4?? and the tumor is located at the base of tongue/ tonsil area and is 2.5-3 cm and friable?
Would the metastatic positive indicate a different treatment path?
Trying to find the bottom line to start researching toward the correct questions.
Thank you,
Mark
