Hi I have never posted here before, I just log on and read, but this really caught my attention. I had cancer on my tongue in 2001 my ENT told me at
the time it was small and I could have surgery and
no treatment. We did the surgery the very next week I had swollen nodes that he told me not to worry about, but he needed to go back in my tongue and remove more. At that time I told him to please go in my neck, I just had a bad feeling about it. He did and removed 5 nodes 3 out of 5 had cancer. I did the treatments and this June will be 3 years clean. You need to also be involved in your treatment, and still wonder at what stage would the cancer in my neck have been found if I didn't put my foot down. My doctor even tells me I saved myself. I try to be proactive not reactive. At this time I have no regrets. I wish you the very best!!!
