I can only tell you from my experience that my doctors did not recommend surgery for tongue base cancer. I did have a partial glossectomy for a left lateral tumor, with no radiation/chemo. Four months later, a new tumor on my tongue base appeared. I went thru 33 radiation + chemo. I am still recovering from the effects of that treatment. I am able to speak, and able to eat, so I am thankful for that.
Good Luck in your decision! I know it's not easy! Joyce
Diagoned with SCC left lateral tongue 01/05: Partial left neck dissection, partial glossectomy. Lymph glands cleared. Reoccurence in June 05 on tongue base:radiation x33 plus chemo. Started treatment on my 35th birthday! On the road to recovery...
