Hi, my husband was diagnosed with a base of the tongue stage III cancer, almost two years ago. He had(s)a lymphnod on the left side of his neck that shrunk after the treatment to the point that doctors could not feel it after a chemotherapy + radiation treatment. Two weeks ago, he felt a hard mass on the same side that is growing fast. He is going to have a biopsy next Monday and his ENT doctor is talking about a surgery if the test comes positive. I heard that such kind of surgery may affect his face, his shoulder motion...Do you think that it is the best option and does it really have such consequences. Thanks for all responses and God bless you.
