well it seems like that after all my only hope to survive, my last chance to beat this terrible disease, is a very long & difficult surgery. i would be lying if i told you that i am not scared, or that i am ready to fight once again. unfortunately the damage has spread enough living no alternatives treatments except of surgery. i am very scared not only because i don't know if i will make it till the end, but also because i don't know what to expect after the surgery, having lost 1/2 of my tongue.I would be grateful if you could share with me any input you have regarding glossectomy and life after that. thank u all very much for your support and advice.
