My husband too had a reoccurrence and had to have his larynx removed. He also had a total glossectomy etc. I know that this is daunting and so life changing, but it is very doable. I hope that you have a treatment plan in place very shortly. Do get this done ASAP. Always here to support you through this. Tammy

I just completed my treatment on Monday, and was unable to post or come to this site for 6 weeks. I was at Beth Israel with Dr. Harrison, RO, Dr Jacobson my ENT and Dr Cunnely my Oncologist. I'm praying for you!
