If a tumor is benign,and it is on the tongue, would all blood supplied tissue in the area still have to be removed?Including lymph nodes, and half the tongue? Or can they just cut out the tumor? Thanks, PeteyB PS. I'm cancer 101, sounds like most of you went to Harvard. I hope my questions do not seem lame...

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. Never Give Up! UPDATE** Our dear friend Petey passed away, RIP 9-2-07
