I was a stage III due to shear size of my tumor. As you can see from my profile I had surgery, no free-flap, no chemo...but did have 7 weeks of radiation. My Lymph nodes and salivary gland came back clean. They were taken out because they lit up on the PET scan and were very large.
How much of the tongue did they take?
