I am 26 days out from surgery at the base of my tongue for scc. Dr. says I am healing well and to go on solid foods. It hurts and burns to chew. I know I am lucky to be off the feeding tube and then liquid diet but I don't want to eat. Every thing looks good but the pain is real.

I am a 65 year old reitired woman. I have been married to a great man for 42 years. I had a right breast masectomy 15 years ago.





squamous cell carcinoma under my tongue was diagnosed earlier this month. I had surgery 2/3/15. 22 lymph nodes out of my neck came back negative for metasis. The Drs. say I do not need chemo or radiation. I'm off the feeding tube and now on a liquid/soft food diet. I see the surgeon again next week. I am grateful and optimistic.
