I like the new look. But then I've always been a Woody Woodpecker fan. Sorry to hear you are HPV negative as it turns out that HPV positive cancers are usually easier to treat. You may want to ask you doctors about what HPV test they used as my CCC first told me I was negative but a more sensitive test showed me positive. Here's a link to an HPV thread here, jump to page 4 for discussion of HPV tests HPV =OCF posts
Finally, in your list of meds, I did not hear any pain pills. You want to be sure to get them BEFORE TX starts. Most of us started off on Percocet and went up to Fentanyl (china doll on the street) patches. I found it much easier to get my narcotic prescriptions filled at the hospital instead of the local pharmacy where they acted like I was a drug addict instead of a Stage IV cancer patient.
I am amazed at how clear your speech is after a partial glossectomy, if that is any indication of how you recover, you could very well be one of the few here who sail right through this treatment. I hope so
