Petey,

I still don't get your extreme pessimism about this. My tumor was also on the front 2/3rd of my tongue (along the side), and was POORLY differentiated (which, as you probably know by now, is worse than what your biopsy seems to be showing). I had surgery, followed by radiation, 18 years ago -- count them -- 18 years. Yes, treatment was tough, but once I recovered, I got back to eating whatever I want, have traveled all over the world, and have taken up activities that I wasn't even doing before cancer. Stop talking like you have one foot in the grave, and get moving toward a course of treatment that can get rid of this disease.
