Thank you for all your prompt and insightful posts.I have another question for all the members who have had some of their tongue resected and a flap procedure.When were you able to speak again?I have asked his head and neck surgeon countless times and he keeps responding with "We'll have to wait until I see what I'm up againist in surgery".In case any of you are wondering why I am always speaking to the doctors it's because the tumor has grown so large he can't be understood any longer.I've searched the message board and I've been unable to find anything that fits that topic.Thank you all again for all your help.
