I’m 6 years out. Yes you have options! I had stage IV base of tongue which spread to my neck and lymph nodes.
I had too much for surgery as they would have had to remove my tongue etc.
I was told they had 1 shot to kill it which meant hitting me as hard as they could with chemo and radiation. My chemo Dr told me they was going “old school” on me and that I wouldn’t like them very well, lol.
Though I was forced to go on disability, I am still alive!
