Cheryld, they have not mentioned rads yet. I would not be surprised to go through another round of radiation, maybe with chemo added in this time.
tamvonk, that is very encouraging to hear that your husband Kris is doing so well. It gives me hope. The adjustments I've had to make to my life to accommodate the partial glossectomy which I thought were such a burden seem laughable now. I will face what comes and try to keep positive.
