I was told that the recovery from surgery after doing chemo and radiation wouldn't be as good and that with my particular tumor it was very very likely to reoccur and come back aggressively. I was essentially not given a choice. It was what the tumor board reccomended and what was reccomended country wide. So he was taking a big risk. I'm glad it worked out especiallys ince he is a chef but I have 2 friends who I met along my journey- they were in thier 30's and they both tried chemo and radiation first and had many complications and they both passed away.

I just think its dangerous to reccomend his path of treatment for people dealing with tongue cancer who had been reccomended to have the surgery.
