Hi all, this is Barb's man EzJim. I just have to type what the Dr told me he has to do. He will take at least half my tongue, because the cancer is in the root too, so he will take the floor of my mouth too. For this he will make a flap using the skin from my left forarm to make a floor. Then he will take skin from my leg and do a graft on my arm . I have to have my neck operated on too and maybe a little more. I will also have a trach and a feeding tube will be inserted into my stomache. He can't tell me how long I will be like this and can't guarantee if it will work. Now you know why I might refuse the operation. I want my last moths or weeks to be good ones and not looking into space.Barb is too pretty a woman and much to nice to be tortured.
