I am back again. I know I said that I would wait until tommorrow afternoon when I had my diagnosis, but I cannot! It is horrible, this waiting to see the doctor, waiting for a definitive diagnosis, waiting for tests, etc. I keep coming up with many questions for you guys, but I do not want to keep posting each time a new thought enters my mind. So, I have tried to subdue myself by going onto various websites for info, but I keep returning here because you guys are just so darned smart. Before I ask anything, I want Brian to feel free to reply to my postings (LOL Brian!). Anyway, I am just so nervous about what the doc will say. When I go to the Oncologist and he gives me the diagnosis I am suspecting, I am assuming I will need surgery to remove this base of the tongue lesion and my swollen lymph node. Who does the surgeries? Oncologists or do they consult a surgeon? I hope the ENT does not do it, or else I am finding someone else. Also, what have you guys found to be the "norm" in treatment for Base of Tongue cancer that has spread to atleast one lymph node? I want to go to this doc tommorrow and give him the impression that I want to take charge of my treatment and I want to have an idea of what I should expect as a treatment option, etc. If I hear him say something tommorrow that just does not sound right, atleast I will know it off the bat! Thanks for your help guys. Hope to get some replies by tommorrow afternoon.
Desiree'
