Thank you everyone for your replies. I have been away from the sight to study for the NCLEX which is my nursing license while my tongue healed from the partial glossectomy.
The partial glossectomy came back from patho with no further evidence of carcinoma. However, since the original patho report stated there were words like,
"perineural and microvascular invasion" it has been highly suggested to me that i follow up with radiation therapy.

I have a CT on June 29th and then find out my treatment plan. I informed that there will be somewhere in the 30-33 treatments using IMRT.

Thanks again,
Kenny
