Brian - saw the show too - I was glad that at least someone was talking about this on such a popular show, but did have to get a little frustrated at the way they presented the surgery, etc. (Letting someone operate on me who had never done a very complex difficult procedure - and not in a CCC? Don't think so.) I was also interested to see how well she looked right after surgery - no trach, really minimal swelling - and no talk at all of a neck dissection?? Oh well, kudos to you for AT LEAST getting this on prime time - now people who look at me in horror when I tell them I had tongue cancer might have a little more knowledge...

I thought about trying to send a response to the show regarding some of this - thanking them for spotlighting this but reminding them of the importance of making sure their medical facts are a little more realistic...
