Thank you Christine,

I'm home now and just got some anti-nausea meds so maybe that will help (?). Food just tastes terrible as the sensation is coming back into my tongue and it's still so swollen I feel like I'm choking. I can drink maybe a tablespoon at a time and now even water tastes bad. I'm so afraid of getting dehydrated.

I could drink Boost yesterday but today it tastes terrible and it's hard getting down any at all. I'm also nervous about becoming addicted to the Oxycodon.

Having a terrible time but appreciate all of the help offered,

Amy

Feb 2016 - Diagnosed with SCC on tongue, CT scan indicated no visible spread, non HPV-related
March 11, 2016 - 30% of tongue removed, all nodes on left side of neck.
March 23, 2016 - results found cancer in only one node but it had erupted. May or may not have cancer in the neck but am not doing the chemo/radiation route unless it's my last option. Will try naturopathic methods first.
