Dear To Rad or Not to Rad:
For what is worth I was diagnosed in 1983 with Cancer of my uvula, and tonsil told I was terminal got a second opinion and the Doctors decided to do radiation therpary which after 3 months I was told I was clear no more cancer then 3 months later they found I had cancer on the base of my tongue two primary no secondaries. And since I had radiation already to that area they still decided to surgery and remove half of my tongue using a flap from my pectoral muscle. I have been cancer free with just that radiation treatment and surgery now for over 34 years. It wasn't easier and very pain full but I am miracle that likes to brag. Good Luck with what every you decided...Sincerely Newyorkchefsmom
