I am really sorry to hear about Scott's latest setback. Many time tongue cancer is cured with radiation and chemo alone without surgery, some even think that radiation and chemo are the "first line" Tx over surgery. We will be praying for you both.
They told me it was better to have a full stomach pre chemo - they even provided snacks during chemo- check with your oncologist.
