Currently both my ears, much of the back of my head, a my jaw down to mid chest are numb. My doc says likely the lobes of my ears won't regain feeling and there will be the strip across my throat that will also remain numb.
My left thumb is also numb from where they took the flap to reconstruct the tongue, and that one is unknown for the moment. The surgeon has said we will know more when I meet with him in a couple of weeks.
Tina Diag: Aug. 13/12 T3N0M0 50% + glossectomy and bilateral radical neck dissection, removal of nodes zones I - V Surgery October 11/12 Chemo/rad on hold due to clear margins and nodes Sept 21/13 clear CT with anomaly thought to be the artery, being watched closely. Dec 16/13 - anomaly confirmed artery, all clear nickname: "get 'r done" Plans: kick cancer's butt
