I am contacting the head and neck clinic tomorrow my next appointment is not until the 22nd dec, they are doing "watching and waiting" since my last lazer treament last May, the lab results didn't get a clear margin around the lesion they removed, so they are hesitant to remove anymore of my tongue as they say this time will have to be a graft and they do not know how much of my tongue to remove, but you have given me the confidence to insist that the red patch is much bigger and now is very sore so I will keep you posted on my new found insistance! Thanks Helen
SCC Base of tongue, (TISN0M0) laser surgery, 10/01 and 05/03 no clear margins. Radial free flap graft to tonsil pillar, partial glossectomy, left neck dissection 08/04
