Hi, I was just diagnosed with tongue cancer. The second opinion surgeon was really great. He plans on removing some of my tongue and wants to take lymph nodes from my right neck. He explained what was to be done and about the recovery. I don't think I can go thru with it. From the stories I read, I can't believe how strong you all are, especially when the odds of returning cancer or death is great. I just don't see the point of going thru all the pain and suffering just to add a few years to your lives. It might be the depression talking, can anyone help me with this?
