Tongue Cancer: What are my treatment options?

It’s wonderful news that your cancer hasn’t progressed and isn’t very deep! As for delaying treatment, you have an opportunity to have this removed Monday, tomorrow! Your surgeon sounds fully capable of taking care of this small tumor for you and you sound like you have a good relationship.
If this were me, I’d get it over and done with! I think you’ll feel better having this done an not waiting, right?

I had the surgery on Monday and it went well. They got all of the cancer on the first go through which includes 1cm cancer free margins. Now l am feeling much better emotionally but in a lot of physical pain especially when swallowing I haven’t been able to eat anything yet even drinking water is a challenge I have been prescribed liquid hydrocodone which does help and I am also rotating liquid tylenol and advil. Just hoping to get through this and stay cancer free. Any ideas what to do on follow up visits to make sure all cancer is gone and how to detect early if it ever comes back ? Thanks for any recommendations or feedback on how to get through this part of it
