Welcome to the board, KelliK!
Sorry for what you have had to go thru. Will radiation be part of your treatment? My husband had tongue surgery among other things. It has been a hard road, but he is doing much better now. At this time we await upcoming PET/CT scan results to be more sure of what is going on inside his body.

Take care and God bless,
Debbie
