Glad surgery went well, now you probably have no lymph nodes left now that they have been removed twice, laugh.

Hoping they are satisfied with surgery and that you don't have to go through more radiation or chemo!!

If so, ur a trooper, and already know what it's like, so just fight hard!!

I myself am going through a reoccurance scare right now!!

Hoping for the best for both of us.

Strange that they can pull ur stomach muscle and move to ur mouth, but that makes me feel a bit more at ease. Already had the right half of my tongue removed, and one of the positive areas is my tongue, so i got pretty nervous about that, as i am only 26 and don't know if i could live the rest of my life without being able to eat/talk again. So that gives me a little hope.

Glad you are out of the hospital and at home!! Feels so much better to be home!!

So, do you live near where lost supposedly happened, hahaha, i kid.

Stay strong and fight the good fight!!
