If I were you, I would run, not walk, and go for rads and chemo. I had tongue cancer and and believe me,, anything they wanted to do is fine with this guy. It is miserable to go thru the rads strapped down, but after a couple of them, it's easy. As all in here know, I lost a big part of my tongue and had the neck dissection, radiation tongue implants, whichare no fun at all and had to have my teeth all extracted before they did any of these. You just have to think positive about it and go for the GOLD. LOL I do talk a little funny and can't eat anything but liquids, but I enjoy life too much not to give it 200%. You go for it too and make us all happy in here. Gotta go clean my surgery from yesterday. LOL Peroxide and then a good antibiotic ointment. I'll help you all I can..just don't say , Jim you are full of it.LOL
