Dear Vickie
My husband had a complete glossectomy with a rectus abdominus flap reconstruction of his toungue a year ago after recurrence after a partial glossectomy.

It was a huge operation but I was amazed with the results, My husband recovered quite well and has remarkable speech for what he has had done, most people can understand what he has to say. He also managed some pureed and easy foods such as soup and egg etc it took quite a bit of experimanation with that, however he has always had to have his peg as would be unable to meet his dietry requirements, Although he has now developed secondary cancer he has no regrets on undertaking his glossectomy as he has had about three months of wellness and he believes that was what the glossectomy enabled him to have.
Goodluck with your decision, I wish you all the best
