I was also Stage II with clean margins. The tumor was poorly differentiated, and this may have been a factor in the recommendation I received. What I got from the head and neck team at Dana Farber back then was a very strong push in the direction of radiation, and while I argued a bit about it at the time, I believe it was the right decision to go ahead and have it.
Feel free to send me a private message if you want to discuss this further.

Tongue SCC (T2M0N0), poorly differentiated, diagnosed 3/89, partial glossectomy and neck dissection 4/89, radiation from early June to late August 1989
