I am in the middle of a whirlwind emotion right now. My mom had a partial removal of the tongue and one lymph node out of 26 came back positive for cancer. It was under 1mm. She is now 3 weeks into radiation treatment and is having issues with eating, and a sore mouth. She is 69 yr young, living with Rhuemtoid Arthritis for over 25 years now. She is a fighter? HELP what is the opinion out there!! We are over 100 miles from the hospital, and we are moving to the hope lodge in iowa city tomorrow....
