Tongue cancer

Hi.and welcome

There are quite a few happy survivors of such surgery  here snd folk will be along with their experience in no time. Meanwhile you can put tongue cancer in the search at the top of the page band have a look around 

I had tongue cancer but it was dealt with by radiotherapy 

Hi Lindyloo and welcome to the forum.

Do you know whereabouts on the tongue the tumour is located?

Hey Linda 

It's quite a substantial size on the underside on the right hand side. Only confirmed as cancer last Thursday. Had a conversation with surgical and plastics team yesterday. If the mri and ct confirm no spread then they said it would be removal and reconstruction. As you can imagine it's alot to take in and with her age,79yrs  and heart condition, AF, its a worry. 

I'm trying to be as supportive as I can be, but she was a nurse before retirement so is well aware of all the pros and cons.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Lynne

My tumour was located elsewhere on my tongue and no reconstruction  required.

There are others on the forum who have had similar to your aunt  and had good outcomes.so I'm sure they'll post something soon.

All the best.
