Today I had a follow up with the surgeon. He removed the JP drain which was nice. I have been having a whole lot of pain on my tongue, especially in the morning. It feels real swollen in the morning, so I have been trying to sleep sitting up a bit. It was a little better this morning. Some problems eating, sticking with creamy stuff and protein smoothies for now. I feel like it went really well. So, waiting on pathology reports. I don't know if I will be having radiation, chemo or both or neither. I am anticipating something. Waiting sure is hard. Hope everyone is ok. Denise
