Hi, Bailey,

I'm so sorry that you and Jordan are having to search for treatment at such a difficult time following the surgical attempt. I don't have a specific recommendation as my husband's cancer originated in the tonsils but we have been very happy with Johns Hopkins. I'm writing because when we were doing our search, Sloan-Kettering had a detailed case of a 22-year-old woman who had part of her tongue removed, a prosthetic device eventually placed in her palate, etc. It was a case used to illustrate their team approach to treatment and to promoting quality of life. It was impressive so you might want to at least go to their website (can't rememember if it was on the general website or the head and neck cancer clinic website.

Good luck !
