Cheryld, sounds very scary frown 1/3 tongue gone, 40 lymph nodes gone. Very sad.
How is your speech and taste? Can you taste foods now and can you pronounce all sounds?

Tina, it is very good that you remain to be a person with the same habits as nothing has happened. I think the best attitude is even start feeling better than before:) and feel like nothing has happened.)

I told my parents today. They wanted to come to me and to support me. I said i was fine. My mom told me 'don't worry, it will go away'. How likely is that my tumour will disappear before the next appointment?:) I think nothing is impossible.
Anyway, I think I need a good rest before the next appointment as they are going to talk with me about the treatment.

Mausmish, in general I am very grateful to the creators of this website. I believe it is a very good job for the benefit of all these people who had to sign up.
