I had surgery for T1N0M0 tongue cancer on 7/1/03. I had a partial glossectomy (about 25% of my tongue removed)and a modified neck dissection. I had a CAT scan and a PET scan prior to surgery. My speech is perfectly normal now and has been since about November. I can eat everything, although I have no taste/sensation on the side of the surgery. I was in a panic too when I was diagnosed mostly because I am a dental hygienist have some professional knowledge. I have to say that all in all my surgery and recovery was easier than I ever thought it would be.
