Hello,
I'm writing to introduce myself. I've joined this site on behalf of my husband, and for support and information for myself. My husband (41) has tongue cancer and is still in the decision stages of how to best move forward with treatment, surgery vs radiation. His doctor is recommending surgery and thinks radiation is not yet necessary. We have questions about side effects with both, but when I looked on the treatment board, I felt like maybe other people are perhaps dealing with more advanced cases of cancer. His cancer has not spread to neck nodes yet, fortunately. Can anyone advise on where on the board to get info re side effects of tongue resection (speech loss, PT, etc) vs radiation. The radiation sounds more definitive in it's effectiveness but we don't want to do it if it's unnecessary.

Thanks for having this board, and to anyone who offers info or advice.
