Hi, Max:

Sorry you have to be on here but this is a good place to be. I had a partial glossectomy and neck dissection done in June 2010. You seem to be handling things very well, and this forum will only help. I didn't join the forum until earlier this year; and I wish I was on here when I got my diagnosis because I was pretty freaked out over the whole thing and felt so alone and helpless. I had 25% of my tongue removed; and remarkably, most of it grew back in the first couple of months. There is still a bit of a divot, and eating from that side is not quite the same. But otherwise, speech is good. Eating anything other than soft foods was not possible the first week or so after the surgery, but now I can eat anything. I'm not the expert on all things medical, but I can give you an experiential point of view when you need that. Best of luck to you!

Tim
