The surgery is on my tongue, probably about 1/2 of it, I have nodules in my throat , 2 spots on my vocal chords and my left ear are involved. THe Dr will also take the floor of my mouth under my tongue and do a skin graft using skin from my leg. I'll know more after the MRI on the 5th. Thanks for being interested.
