I�ve had 3 partial glossectomies � two this year, and the last one in April was at Johns Hopkins. Excellent surgeon, facility and support staff. Of course the surgery itself wasn�t pleasant but the outcome was good.
You are in one of the best hospitals in the USA for treatment. I wish you the best with your upcoming surgery and I'll keep you in my prayers.
