I had a partial glossectomy (about 1/4) in January 2016. My surgeon was not happy with the margins and now I scheduled for a hemiglossectomy (with lymph node removal, tracheostomy, feeding tube and radial forearm free flap), in April 2016. I have not been told a whole lot about what exactly is going to be done or how long healing time will be or speech deficits. I hope to gain knowledge from people here who have gone through this.
