As most of you know, I have only had glossectomies, no radiation or chemo. I still have some random pangs of pain where my glossectomies have been. Common sense tells me this is normal but I don't seem to get a straight answer from my doctor.

Any thoughts on this are appreciated. I guess just knowing radiation may be in future SCARES me, and these pangs makes me think it's back. My doc said she doesn't want to do it now because I could be a candidate for it in the future. If I have to do that I know I can with all the support here but man...it scares me so much.
