Susan,
We won't know how to treat the hyoid bone, until I have completely recovered from base of tongue resection that they did for biopsy. We will know more when everything is healed. They took a little over a inch of the greater cornu and hopefully that will be all that is needed. I'm very happy that there is no cancer, because it's been quite the journey. I knew I was in terrible pain and have had many to believe it was in my head. I'm ashamed to say that a couple people on this site were not very nice about my persistence and questions. Literally, they had no idea how this site has helped me cope and educated me on the big "C" I believe that knowledge made my Doctors pay more attention to my condition. Thank you for being so kind.
