Hi everyone,

Thank you so much. I will never have words to express my gratitute towards your support. I feel so thankful to have found this forum, it really makes a difference and we feel we are not alone...

I'd like to post an update on the surgery. The doctors say that both, the removal of the tumor and the reconstruction of the tongue went well. He didn't need a mandibulectomy. He will stay in the hospital for about 10 more days...

I will keep posting with updates and questions...

Hugs,

Benfry
