Since I only had a partial glossectomy and a neck dissection, I can't offer you any advice on the rest of the surgery that is planned for next Thursday. Please know that I will be thinking of you all day with special prayers and good vibes going your way.
That day, April 6th, will be the one year anniversary of my surgery. It was a good day for me and it will be a good day for you. The road to recovery begins that day.
