I agree with Wayne that it sounds like some sort of misunderstanding. Like your son, I had about 1/6 of my tongue removed. That was almost 18 years ago, and I have yet to see any signs of "regeneration"!
However, it did heal quite well overall following surgery and radiation, and I've learned to live with the rather minor inconvenience of a lop-sided tongue.
