I was diagnosed with tongue cancer last April and had tongue surgery and right neck disection last May (2016). No cancer in the 39 lymph nodes from neck. Then 6 weeks of radiation treatments after teeth extraction. I have gained almost all my weight back, eating and feeling better than ever. Just waiting for dentures hopefully in March. Had soft tissue scan on 1/9/17 Radiation Doctor says it looks good, but then I get a call from ENT doctor and wants a visit. Go in and he says that my epiglottis looks irregular and wants to do a biopsy, that will be on 2/8/17. I am not happy with it, before tongue surgery, neck disection and radiation I was mister tough guy, now I am scared and don't want to go through this Sh#t again !!!!
