Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I had 30% of my tongue removed on Aug 3rd. At a follow up visit I told the Dr about mt tonge bothering me and that there was something on the opposite side from the surgery. It came back on both sidesand there is no waiting involved. My teeth were pulled the 17th of Jan and I will be getting rad seed implants very soon. Then start chemo.. I hope they don't wait too long to check your mother.
