great news.... I think radiation was much worse on me than the surgery (partial gloss, neck dissection and mandiblectomy)...so you can begin the recovery process right away and hope your journey will be over quickly and you see the light at the end of the tunnel. SO HAPPY TO HEAR THE GOOD NEWS.


DX 12/6/10 of T3 SCC Tongue.
Surgery 1/3/11 was hemigloss & forearm free flap, midline mandibulectomy, Neck Disection-All nodes clear.
Ended rads 5/11/11. Taste buds back to about 80%. PEG removed 4/5/12, experimenting eating real food again. If I can do this, so can you !! Stay Strong.
