Vince,

When your mother had the tongue cancer removed back in February 2002, did she also have nodes removed from her neck area?

(Why I ask: I'm told tongue cancer would first spread to the neck nodes, so be agressively sure, it's best to remove the tongue cancer AND the nodes and run tests to see if it spread to the nodes, and if it didn't, things are looking up aka it has not spread anywhere else in the body.)

Thank you,
