Hi everyone!.....I'm Jill and I was diagnosed with tongue cancer about 2 years back.I had surgery(total glossectomy),flap construction,neck dissection and 6 weeks of radiation for some positive nodes....the entire package!!!!
Surprisingly my speech is not that bad and though I'm on a semi solid diet,I try to find new recipes and actually enjoy my food.My fitness level is great and my weight which normally averaged 50 kgs for many years has actually gone to 55 kgs after cancer.
I wanted some information on a tongue prosthesis.......if anyone's got one made,please could you share your experience as in if it really helps in eating a solid diet or how it affects the speech & etc
