Francesca,

Look at how far you've come. The next step is just gathering the right information to make an educated decision. A friend of mine has a similar cancer (tongue-no lymph nodes-good margins), was treated at Sloan in NY, did not have chemo and radiation, and had a reoccurance. I can put you in contact with him via e-mail to share his experience. He since has had another surgery, chemo and radiation, is doing great two years later, and is expected to have a full recovery.

Regards,
Rob J.
