Hi Twin, Definitely you should get yourself to a CCC. They may not recommend radiation but they may, since you've already had a recurrence once. This is not a disease to fool around with. It isn't just that "we only get one tongue and it's small" (though I love that line, Gerry) but that this is an agressive form of cancer, especally when it's already come back once,and many people seem to think it's best to hit it hard before it hits you too hard to fight your way back from. Also, it's not enitrely true that you only get to use radiation once. there have been a few people here who have had "re-radiation" or had it suggested.
