Welcome to OCF.
Looks like I had the same SCC as you. It will be 3 years in April for me. Not sure I can say not to worry because I think about it daily. My tongue isn't the same and never will be. I think I have a small speech impediment people tell me it's in my head. Everything taste good to me, but it took a while to get back to spicy foods. I also have scar tissue inside my tongue.
Your very lucky you caught it early. Hope all goes well for you and you heal quickly.
Take care,
Connie
