I'm sorry your signature line says the surgery was April 14 so that's 2 months so which is correct? I just got the impression from your post that she was hesitating making her decision and I'm very surprised that MD Anderson has not yet reached a recommendation re further Tx. Regardless of age, this cancer and especially one that began in the tongue, is very aggressive and needs to be killed the first time. I would press MDA for their recommendation.
