5 1/2 weeks post surgery. Arm graft (and blood clot site) healing well as is neck dissection. Just started to chew bits of food yesterday as it still hurts. Using whey in smoothies and having puddings and ice cream. I see surgeon for another f/u next month. Some discussion about trimming excess on my flap.
Just wanted to keep connected and thank everyone for educating me on this forum

I am a 65 year old reitired woman. I have been married to a great man for 42 years. I had a right breast masectomy 15 years ago.





squamous cell carcinoma under my tongue was diagnosed earlier this month. I had surgery 2/3/15. 22 lymph nodes out of my neck came back negative for metasis. The Drs. say I do not need chemo or radiation. I'm off the feeding tube and now on a liquid/soft food diet. I see the surgeon again next week. I am grateful and optimistic.
