Hi Kashif

I am so sorry to hear of your mother's cancer diagnosis and your fear and pain as well. I went through a similar surgery and treatment about four years ago. I was stage 4 SCC. They removed half my tongue, rebuilt it with flesh from my forearm, removed all my neck nodes on that side, trach tube, etc. I had SCC in one node so also received radiation.

Rather than write a book, I would be happy to speak with you and/or your mother on the phone. I was lucky to have someone referred to me that had gone through this a few years before i did. It was very helpful to talk with him over the months of my recovery. It gave me and my family hope.

If you are interested, let me know, I will send a private message with my direct contact information.

Stay safe and keep the faith,
Nels
