"Achatz may have avoided what is perhaps one of the most debilitating surgeries that exist: Survivors of total glossectomies�removal of the whole tongue�can barely talk and must drink their food using gravity."

NOT ALWAYS TRUE


Its a great article I hope that it is a 100 percent success.

This is a little hard for me and probably some other people to read. As a near total glossectomy patient who went through the graft surgery chemo and radiation 1 year ago - I am eating most everything I want and tasting. AND speaking reasonable well- enough to get along in the world. My life isn't misery.
