What kind of biopsy surgery are you having ? The recovery from the surgeries are tough and then radiation will be hard also but need to try to stay ahead of this cancer whatever you can do.

Surgeon will biopsy a tongue lesion that scan revealed was a carcinoma and an unknown mass in my throat. I am 79 and will not undergo tongue surgery. Depending on what my oncologist says I will consider radiation and chemo. My thinking now is that I just want palliative care.
