@rkaspet, I merged your 3 posts into one discussion and moved the discussion to the Head & Neck Cancer Group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/head-neck-cancer/

I dd this so you can easily connect with other members who have or had tongue or mouth cancer like @alpaca @joemae1 @ezg @aalbb @gdawg @calenbd and others.

You'll be in great hands at Mayo Clinic as fellow Head & Neck Cancer members @msherfinski @jeffk @loli and @deborahe can share their Mayo experiences with you.

The main treatments for tongue cancer are surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, either combined or on their own. Your treatment depends on how big the cancer is and whether it has spread (the stage). It also depends on which part of the tongue is affected. Your Mayo team will go over the options with you.

Which Mayo Clinic are you going to? Do you have question about preparing for your consult?
