How are you? Hang in there. I completed six weeks radiation in October, the 19th to be exact, and went through the holidays...Thanksgiving and Christmas being unable to eat... but joy of joys, I've just been able to begin eating again. I had about 1/3 of my tongue removed as well, left lateral, with the flap, but all was well defined so no neck surgery... just radiation. Just when we think we've got it the worst, all we have to do is look around and there is someone else much worse off. Just remember all things must pass, and this radiation thing is just one more obstacle that you can get through... I just found this website... God knows what I would have done had I known about it in August! Godspeed Lyn... You can do this... we're all behind you.
