David:
Thanks for your concern. Won't see medical oncologist until Thursday for exact staging. What I think is large (T3-4) tumor in base of tongue. Don't think nodes are involved. Bilateral modes are only 8mm but possible incroching cancer.
No cancer anywhere else. My team are suggesting tomotherapy with radiation and chemo. I don't believe they are going to suggest surgery at this time, but not 100% positive until Thursday. Thanks Sandy
