Welcome to the OCF. Although I did not need a graft, I did have a partial glossectomy and modified neck dissection. This was in April of 2005.
If you haven't done so already, I would suggest that you look around the site for a wealth of information on oral cancer. There are also 2 search areas, if you have not found them yet. You can look for any topics that you want to read about from the search engine on the home page. Also, you can search the forum for topics that you might have questions about. This is available at the top of the forum page(s).
