Hi all. My name is Thomas, and I live in Calgary, AB. I am here to learn about this terrible disease, and perhaps help other people along the way. 2 years ago I lost 25% of my tongue (Hemiglossectomy, radial forearm flap, tracheotomy, neck dissection and mandibular osteotomy) in a 14 hour operation,+ 5 days in the ICU (witch I can not remember) + 6 weeks of radiation. As time goes by I will tell you more about my journey. I will leave it at this for now. Hang in there you all. The last 2 years have been the best of my live!!
T2N0M0 Residual Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Hemi glossectomy. 25% of right side tongue removed. Forearm flap, Tracheotomy, Neck dissection, Mandibular osteotomy. Oct. 3-2005 +
30 rounds of radiation and no chemo. No smoking and drinking.
