Thank you Caregiver, as this explains the situation better. I should have read your profile, and see the prior hemoglossecyomy, but I'm working with my iPhone, and can't see a thing sometimes. Sounds like MD Anderson has a plan to do Chemo in hopes of surgery later on, including what the patients preference is.

Not sure if it was mentioned or is applicable, but there is Transoral Laser Microsurgery (TLMS) that is less invasive than other surgeries, and may not interfere with other treatments. .

Good luck
