Hello,

I had a huge tumor outside my tongue, and it was nicely removed by cisplatin and radiation. I expected the same success for the tumor cells within the tongue, but this sadly was not the case. I underwent tumor extraction last tuesday, and I had to sacrifice 1/3 of my tongue. A little "package" of cell tissue was taken from my forearm and attached to the tongue and currently it is healing well. But I have almost no voice currently! The doctors promise to me big success by speech therapy.

May I ask for your experiences with speech therapy and the impact on the usage of different consonants?

Best regards - Peter
