It's hard not be anxious and I'm not surprised that the news of tongue cancer has severely affected your sleep. You're wise to put that worry into action by preparing a list of questions as you get ready for your appointment tomorrow.

I found this great list of questions that you can choose from:
- Oral and Oropharyngeal Cancer: Questions to Ask the Health Care Team https://www.cancer.net/cancer-types/oral-and-oropharyngeal-cancer/questions-ask-health-care-team

I would print it out if you have a printer and highlight the questions most important to you.

Don't worry yourself about "what if's" or "I should have's". You're taking care of it now and that is all that matters.

How soon you can be scheduled for surgery will be based on availability of the surgeons and operating room, as well as the urgency. You can submit an online appointment request to get a second opinion from Mayo Clinic. Here's more info: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

You might wish to do talk with Mayo Clinic after your appointment tomorrow when you have more info about your CT scan and the cancer. I will you all the best tomorrow. Is your review with an expert at Roswell Park?
