Hey Vicki I have been folowing your journey. A lot of people do not understand that base of tongue is different from tongue. Tongue is on the front 2/3rds,and must be cut out. Base of tongue can not be cut out, to risky, to much damage to other "parts". If I could just get chemo, and rad, I'd do it. But they will most likely take my whole tongue. Then the rad & chemo. 8 months of hell & no tongue. That's where I got off the buss. Thanks for your concern, Good Luck to your husband.

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. Never Give Up! ****UPDATE**** Our dear friend Petey passed away, RIP 9-2-07
