Sounds as if you have had similar surgery to me. I've had lots of operations in my lifetime but the glossectomy has been the most difficult, physically and emotionally.
On the plus side I look at my scarred wrist(now lighter in colour) and think about how much I talk each day as a part-time teacher and realise how far I've come in a year and a half.
You sound like a brave and honest person who will make a good catch for one of those lucky people online.
1996, ovarian cancer surgery + cisplatin and taxol. September, 2007, SCC of left lateral tongue. Excision. October, 2009 recurrence in scar tissue, T1NOMO. Free flap surgery from left wrist - neck dissection. 63 year old New Zealander. No chemo, no RT. February, 2014. New primary in left buccal mucosa. Marginal mandibulectomy, neck dissection, right arm free forearm flap. T1N0M0 but third occurrence and some areas of concern: RT started 8 April and finished 19 May.
