OP edd Contributing Member (25+ posts) Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 25 olympia, WA	I am just starting treatment. SCCA base of tongue,T3N2aMo. Age 62, X smoker + etoh. My surgeon says the primary is large, invasive but not across midline. He biopsyed it but did not attempt to remove. Did a L mod Radical neck, lost the 11th nerve. He says studies show similiar outcomes whether primary removed or not (plus rads and chemo). Anyone agree or disagree? Also, I have seen a lot of discussion regarding swelling with radiation. Any have trouble with obstruction of airway? Thanks, Edd
