Melanie,

Have you been to a major cancer center, or just a local hospital? In a situation such as yours, where you've dealt with this more than once, it's really important to get the advice and treatment from oncology professionals who know surgery, radiation and chemo. In the "Other Resources" section of this site, you can find a list of the comprehensive cancer centers around the country, in case you need to find a team of specialists who deal with tongue cancers on a regular basis.
