My mouth opening is less than 10 mm.I had 1st primary in tongue operated in 2013 and doctors removed nodes from my neck. Doctor from Tata memorial hospital told me to operate and remove less than half of jaw and reconstruction them. In Kolkata my doctor who operated my 1st cancer told me for chemo 1st. He told me chemo is 1st option and surgery is second option. Please suggest opinion
