Hi! I have just joined this site and have never done anything like this before. I am not good at using computers and am only learning because I can no longer speak clearly due to total a glossectomy during my surgery for adenoid cystic carcinoma in Sept. of 2013. I am not even sure if I will be able to retrieve any response to my post. I will start with one item that has caused much distress. I am not able to eat or drink anything. That is my permanent condition. I will have a feeding tube for life. I haven't been able to come to terms with all the loss of socialization it has caused. I never realized how much that first cup of coffee in the morning, a slice of pizza, or that candy bar meant. It even bothers me to watch all the food/restaurant commercials on TV. How do I cope??
