Mokie,

Anything is possible, but I was thinking nerves may make you nauseas too. Tell your oncologist when you see him Tuesday, July 2nd which is right around the corner.

I do hope for a lesser staging, but try not to worry about it much, because you did all you can do at this point, besides picking the right medical team. I’m not familiar with tongue cancer staging, but it’s easy to look up. Some cancer stages like l and II are often treated the same as are lll and IV.

Keeping busy helps some patients deal with waiting, which is the worst. Try doing some of your favorite hobbies, spending time with people you like.

Good luck
