Thanks Eric! We were in a toss up between doing the radiation and not doing it! The doctor left it up to me to decide knowing all that comes with the radiation. However since the infected node was burried in some tissue he thinks that it would be foolish not to have that radiated now! I looked into just having radiation and passing on the neck dissection for the simple fact that I didnt want to 1 have the scar and 2 have to deal with the numbness in my shoulder and face. Mostly everyone I talked to said that I should have surgery then follow it up with Radiation because I am young and healthy and can take all the treatment to the max. So I will be def doing the radiation, I just dont know if I am going to allow them to radiate the left side, right side and my tongue all at once since I already had the glossectomy and the neck dissection. I am thinking I am for now going to just go with the left side radiation and keep tabs on it closely to make sure it doesnt pop back up anytime soon. My Wife and her mother both work for the ENT that did my surgery so I have a personal relationship with my surgeon....I guess you can say I am lucky in that aspect of things! I wish you the best with your recovery and hope that you regain feeling as well. I can move my shoulder and mouth it is just very weird feeling and always feels like I need to scratch it but when I do I cant feel anything! Very irritating! Keep in touch Bro!
