Jeanette,
My husband also had 60% of his tounge removed. He is just finishing up radiation (3 more). He hasnt really beem able to swallow yet. They told him not to swallow unless he is with the therapist. What kind of reconstruction did you have done? I know survial is the most important thing. I am just feeling really bad because he hasnt had and food since surgery. ( Febuary 3rd.) I also know every person is different I was just wondering what you had done so I could ask? The Doc did say the other day he might do a graft again (did it day of surgery but it didnt take) but he said it would be a while. He wants to see how he heals and what his swallowing is like at that time.
Thanks,
Cheryl
