Thanks everyone for you support, i have been told that i will need to have more of my tongue removed and graphed and have a radical neck disection, with all the lymph nodes removed on the left side. With this surgery i will have a trach and a feeding tube :'( I am sooo scared about this and i have no idea what to expect to feel like with all these tubes going in and out:( Any words of advice for having a trach???
