Amy -

Yes, my Dad will be 65 on the 29th. To be perfectly honest with you, we don't fully understand the total glossectomy and how that will affect his quality of life. We DO need to talk to the doctor about that before we decide for sure. What my Dad DOES know that is that he wants to live. They told him that besides the ENT surgeon, there will be a plastic surgeon there to to "reconstruct" his tongue. Can anyone give me any insights into that? Amy, did you husband have his tongue removed? I see he had SCC on the floor of his mouth with a recurrance. Any insights and opinions, as difficult as they may be to hear, I would be open to. We are still waiting on the results of the PET....hopefully today.
God bless you all.
