Hi Tammy, yes she has a TEP. I just read her what you said and she is really feeling better about the surgery now. I can't tell you how great it is to actually talk to someone else who has been through this. Molly

Laryngectomy after chemo and radiation 2 1/2 years ago. Now has base of tongue tumor, had chemo to shrink tumor before surgery with no response. Surgery to remove 1/2 of tongue and rebuild is scheduled in 3 days.
