Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 1,116 | Dan, my team decided against chemo, too. I had tongue cancer and two cancerous lymph nodes in neck. After surgery, I had 7 weeks of radiation because of the two lymph nodes involved. My doctors told my husband chemo would not work in my situation. Try not to worry, take one day at a time.....I know, I know, much easier said than done....but I do believe the right decision was made by my doctors....Carol
