While only your doctors can tell you for sure, chemo in general, regardless of the one that is used, is not considered a primary treatment modality for cancers of the tongue. These usually are treated with surgery and radiation. I am sorry to hear about this additional burden to your already heavy load, and I wish you a speedy treatment process and a full recovery from both.
