Julia,

Hi and welcome to the group. Sorry you had to join us. I too, had a partial glossectomy, and did not need chemo or radiation. However, I did not need a reconstruction.

I would recommend that you email eva grayzel, a member, who had surgery similar to yours. Her email is [email protected]. She will be happy to answer your questions.
