Hi everyone,

My sister (70 yrs. old, 4 surgeries and 2 series of radiation for SCC on her tongue) is about 80% convinced that her quality of life would be worse with the currently proposed glossectomy. We've talked to hospice, but she wants to know if anyone is willing to share their experience of what it was like during the last few months. The surgeon is painting a gruesome picture if she doesn't have surgery, and she just wants to hear from someone else's perspective if possible.

As for me, my heart is breaking, but I'd probably make the same choice if it were me. Any personal experience is much appreciated. Bless you all....
