Thanks, Jeff. You are right, I am pushing on the lymph node every 5 minutes and I have to stop.

I have never gotten the offical diagnoses but I do know the tumor was almost to the midline of the tongue...maybe T2/T3? I will ask the next appointment. It also got down to my left lymph node. After reading a lot of posts, I wonder why my doc did not remove the lymph node before treatment.
