Thanks Brian for the elephant story. Makes me hungry...:)Has ben one week since my partial glossectomy and I am healing well. The swelling is intense as they had to cut my neck open to get out the lymph nodes....all clear. I have had lotsa time to sit and think about the future and am giving to what happens will work out. I don't know much about the radiation therapy, but will talk to those folks in the next few weeks. I will beat this, I know. With the tumor gone, I am looking forward to irradicating any pesky wanna be's. And thank you for this website. There was so much information and support in the words of these people, that it made the surgery less scary. I hope to help others as they journey the course to recovery.
