Debbie,

My doctor is also an ENT oncologist and presented me with the same plan of care. After laser surgery, he grafted under my tongue with a synthetic material so I wouldn't lose mobility. Radiation depended on the outcome of the biopsy of lymph nodes, all 22 came out clean so no radiation needed.
