Steve, Patty. Liz

I am a little groggy from the anesthesia but want to jot off a quick thank you. The ENT surgeon told my wife that she thinks it is cancer and will need a partial glossectomy with a forearm flap. She estimated 10 days in the hospital but also wants to do a neck dissection due to the recent MRI and today's biopsy.
My wife's very upset but it does help her to read replies like yours. She notes: well they had the surgery and they sound so nice so maybe it's not the end of the world
time to take some pain pills and chill as the ENT excised not only the lump but took some punches from the base. thanks again.
