Thanks I didn't even know about guidelines post surgery. I have six weeks to come up with some questions...so far so good but am fining as I heal the feeling is starting to return to some of my nerves and the pain is increasing it was just all just numb before...I wake up and am all swollen still and sometimes it seems like my bottom lip has dissappeared but otherwise seem fine...just biding my time and still one day at a time...

The healing part was the most annoying part for me! I remember as I was getting feeling back in my neck I would get these random twitches in my neck and they would make my whole head move - I'm sure they were quite entertaining for everyone around me! I wasn't sure if I liked the idea of feeling coming back because of it! I was happy when they stopped! Hope you are doing well!


Stephanie, 23, SCC on the right side of my tongue, surgery on 5-19-08, over half my tongue removed, free flap constructed from my forearm, bilateral neck dissection, one positive node. Radiation (32) and chemo (carboplatin) started on 6-16-08. Recurrence 4/09 in lungs.

**** Stephanie passed away 12.15.09.... RIP our dear friend****

I agree the healing is definatly got my attention...but I just don't feel all that bad and then the twinges and the reconnection to feelings nerves coming alive again...it really hurts...phsyio wow....and well I am starting to feel a bit closterphobic want to get out and do but tend to do too much and pay for it...i am still looking for that happy medium. I really want to go back to the sausage cart but it is getting late in the season and well I know not quite strong enough for that and my family would make sure I don't...It is also hard first thing in the morning when i am the most swollen it is like the bottom lip disappears...need a bib to drink a coffee ...lol...anyway how is your eating going ...still a hungry bear do you have any answers?

Take dare folks time to rest for a bit again
