Well, my Dr in Columbus that did surgery to remove part of my tongue and did a left neck dissection told me that I didn't need radiation or chemo because he got all the cancer. This with 1.5 mm margins. Had a local RPO send me letters and call to tell me that the 1.5mm margin was way too close and the cancer would be back. To make a long story short, it was back in less than a ,month. The 1st Dr finally said it was back after a couple of biopsies and on both sides of my tongue. He did what he could do then agreed that I did need rads and chemo. I got those from the local Dr and was treated agressively. Had rads and chemo for 4 weeks, had to have my teeth removed, then had to have rad seed implants in my tongue. This is a very painful procedure but I had no choice.The surgery for implants was the 29th of Feb and I was out of my mind for a few days. LOL almost ended up in a rest home until I recovered. Hell, I beat that and was called a miracle patient. This was done in Wheeling, WVa by the RO that said I needed rads and chemo. I feel that I should have a case against the Dr in Columbus for his mistakes about rads and chemo. Maybe it was because of my age or the cancer study I was in??? This goes to show that the big guys screw up frequently too.
