I have been reading everything I can get my hands and eyes on because I am somewhat nieve about this BOT. I am really concerned that this reconstruction is really gonna be devastating. Thankfully we see the reconstruction surgeon on Wednesday. I have so many questions. Is it just the tongue that will be reconstructed? Or will they be taking away part of his throat and face? Or does anyone really know until it happens? The first 2 times with the cancer dx everything happened very quickly and I really didn't have much time to dwell or think about it. This time it is not playing out that way. We have suspected since early September and the biopsy results came back on October 21st. We saw the otolarygologist that will do the resection surgery just last week and until we see this surgeon this week nothing is set in stone and I really don't like that and neither does my husband. We both want the ball rolling. Patience is not a good virtue of mine.
