I just wanted to thank everyone for their great advice. I went to my Oncologist, Dr. Taylor, from the Cancer Outreach Associates, in Johnson City, TN, yesterday. She is making me an appointment, with an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist ( I can not remember his name right now), at Vanderbilt University, in Nashville, to have more surgery on my tongue, and more areas if needed. We have also scheduled a MRI of my head and neck, as well as a PET Scan of my head and neck. Dr. Taylor will continue to be my Oncologist, so we do not to travel to Nashville, for my Oncology appointments, too. My husband, Darryl, and I will be traveling to Nashville, asap. We should be finding out later today, when we go. Thank you to everyone, who answered my earlier posts, under the "introduce yourself" topic.
