You can do it!!!!! I have faith in you!! It just takes time and patience. Hang in there. You can't really make your body heal any faster than it wants too, so you just have to stick it out! The important thing is that you are trying, so don't give up! Eating does get easier over time, your tongue gets used to it and starts to build back up some strength and control. Hang in there!!!!
Stephanie, 23, SCC on the right side of my tongue, surgery on 5-19-08, over half my tongue removed, free flap constructed from my forearm, bilateral neck dissection, one positive node. Radiation (32) and chemo (carboplatin) started on 6-16-08. Recurrence 4/09 in lungs.
**** Stephanie passed away 12.15.09.... RIP our dear friend****
