Sorry to hear that, Jim. Is it limited to the tongue?

Bear in mind that you are in the best possible hands. You will be at the top of my prayer list.

Try your best to put down the smokes this time --it is tough, but very doable with new medications and such. I quit last February when I had the neck fusion, during which the anesthesiologist noticed "something" at the base of my tongue. The rest is history, but I do not regret quitting for one second. Anything that will help keep this darn thing at bay, I will do. Take the same approach, and you will be amazed at how easy quitting can be.

We are all hear for you, Jim.
