Hi Cheryl,
Are you going to Princess Margaret in Toronto? My initial problem was on the left side of my tongue as well. I had a radial forearm flap (tissue and skin from wrist to replace 1/8th of my tongue) procedure done a few years ago. It was recommended by a DR. at Princess Margaret, and I had it done in London, Ont. Although I thought it was overkill, it did give my tongue more mobility. Plus I can grow hair from inside my mouth (how many people can do that? lol)
All the best with the scans and your DR. visit, would like hear about your next steps.
Best, HGT
