Hello everyone,

|am going into have a tumor removed from the center of my tongue on Wen. and have no idea what to expect afterwards. I was told I would be "very sore" and that my tongue will "swell" It is being as though it is cancer and therefore Doc will be taking wide margins (approx the size of a dime, I'm told).... possibly going completely through the tongue.
At this time doc is saying "precancerous or cancer" so will need to wait for pathology results 7-10 days.

I just hit my 5 yr mark as being stable from 3A lung cancer. Had a upper left lobectomy and 4 mnths of chemo.

Can anyone tell me what I can expect for recovery time, how long until I will be able to eat, etc.

I appreciate any information you can give me....
