He is so sick right now and I'm hoping to give him some inspiration. Did you have surgery? He had a total glossectomy and partial laryngectomy and is now undergoing chemo and rad. He had non-hodgkin's lymphoma of the tonsil 9 yrs. ago and couldn't receive enough rad this time since same area involved-although different cancer altogether. They haven't given him a whole lot of hope for swallowing but don't really have a lot of statistics since the combo of total glossectomy and partial laryngectomy is not common. Thank you and God bless Doreen Caregiver to husband Lee-Stage IV SCC base of tongue/epiglottis. Had total glossectomy/partial laryngectomy/ radical neck dissec 4/05 followed by chemo and rad.
