Looking back, I’m wondering if with my scenario I could have prevented this second tumor from coming back with radiation. I had to wait 5 weeks after tongue and neck surgery just to get the biopsy results from my neck dissection. They were negative. I waited another 10 days for a radiologist appointment. He told me if I signed up at that appointment it would be two weeks of prep before we started the radiation. So that brings me into 9 weeks before starting radiation. I noticed my 2nd tumor starting to appear about 12 days before I would have started my radiation. As mentioned before in my previous post this 2nd tumor came back in the same location after about 10 weeks after having the primary tumor removed. If I decided to go with the radiation, would they have started the radiation if I had this 2nd tumor coming back or would they have wanted it removed before starting the radiation?
