Hi Clive, my boyfiend had whats seems like the same op as you but on july 22nd. we are in week 5 of 6 weeks radio and 6 chemo sessions, he also had 3 nodes that it had spread to. It is wonderfull that you are back on purees and gives us something to look forward to. His tongue still looks kinda golf ball sized and although we are told it will go down there does not seem to be any evidence yet. I hope you continue to improve
