Tongue cancer

Thank you Ray

Hi Night, 

I have had a part of my tongue removed and a neck dissection to remove lymph nodes. I am currently going through radiotherapy. Unfortunately I can’t help with immunotherapy, but I can regarding the surgery. What would you like to know?

Hi Ducklings

Am just so worried about the surgery, said they would take a skin graft from my arm to rebuild tongue and I will be intensive care for a few days. Worried that I won't be able to eat or speak again. And how much pain I will be in

I had 6 weeks of radiotherapy and 2 high doses of chemotherapy. I had a feeding tube also fitted. This was first time I had tongue cancer. They said can't have anymore radiotherapy 

Hi Night. My brother had an op to remove a very large tumour in his tongue and replace it with a graft from his arm. It was a very serious operation but he was starting to talk and eat before he even left hospital. Took quite a few months but eating/talking got back to near normal.

Best of luck with your surgery.
