Thanks for the responses. My wife and much of a number of other family members are signed up to help out. I also have some good friends and neighbors that want to be involved so I feel lucky there. Based on info to date, assuming no suprises in the Glossectomy or ND the thinking now is that radiation will not be necessary or will be saved for a tier 2 defense at a later date. I was DX with Non Hodgkin Lymphoma (Diffuse Large B Cell) in 1998 and beat that with CHOP chemo regimen so although the treatment routine will be different I have some familiarity with the process. I'm concerned about a couple of things:

1. Will I have to stay imobile during the week long hospital stay? The way it was explained to me is that I will have a trach and nasal feeding tube to avoid any contamination of the suturing, etc. Is it logical I could use a laptop or even watch TV during that time?
2. Do you think I can expect my voice to come back relatively quickly and will it be the "same"? I make my living talking, so to speak.

Thanks for the feedback
