Hi All
I spent several more hours reading the forums today. Wow, there is so much great information and so many people that really go out of their way to share and advise. It's truly awesome. After what I learned today, I think I can refine my question.Is the reason my ENT surgeon never mentioned reconstruction to me because he's not doing a glossectomy, just a tumor removal? Or is even a small removal of tissue considered a glossectomy and maybe partial ones don't require reconstruction? That's my confusion I guess. Also after reading these forums, I decided to definitely to get a second opinion at a CCC. Luckily for me, Moffitt is not far from where I live. Just really want to say thanks to all who have shared their experiences and offered help and encouragement to others. This a really really scary thing and this forum is a great resource.
