He said its from using the muscles and im not fully healed.... He also said that its a 6 month to a year recovery . Or longer.. When i was going through surgery i thought i would be back to work in no time. Well was i wrong..... Gotta take it day by day, and just happy to be alive and fighting. Prayers to all
Tongue Cancer
1/2 tongue removed, replaced by flap from forearm. April 15, 2014
neck disection, 1 lympnode involved, doctors removed all to make sure cancer is gone.
30 rad treatments and 2 cisplatin chemo, doctor said I did not need the third
one. Finished up July 30,2014
Chemo treatment was my choice. The board felt surgery and radiation was plenty to take care of my cancer.
