My meeting with my team of doctors is fixed for wednesday the 12th. Thereafter reconsutructive surgery is planned in order to mobilize the tongue, among other things. This is to aid better speech and subsequently ease of eating. Can anyone advice me as to what to expect and ask of the surgeons? What exactly does tongue mobilization entail? Will it restore speech as good as before or nearly as good?
Would be extremely grateful if anyone in the forum having undergone partial glosectomy of the tongue can throw some light on the same and what to ask of from the surgeons. I am both nervous and excited about the impending surgery! Thanks.
