I forgot I lost a part of my tongue and had a left neck radical dissection. Then I was pronounced cancer free, but man did they blow that one. Just like your daughter, mine came back in less than 2 months and was on both sides of my tongue. After that is when the teeth went and I started rads and chemo for the tongue implants. Wish I could talk to your daughter and convince her that she has a chance to beat this nasty stuff. I supposedly have won this war.
