Yes, we are new members, And thank you so much for responding to My post
We don’t know yet what OHSU will offer us, but we are seeing the lead professor at that facility, and that is hopeful. I did find out that there was such a thing as tongue, reconstruction, so hope to put my husband at ease that he will not entirely lose his Tongue, Swallowing and speaking ability.
He Is an accomplished musician, singer, songwriter, but he no longer can sing, but Continues to produce magnificent music, jazz, smooth, jazz, contemporary, and now country.
I am happy to share what we learn at OHSU, and feel confident going there as it is A respectable learning hospital and very well-known
I myself, Had a surgery done there when my surgeons in Eugene didn’t want to perform the delicate surgery. My doctor Found an incidental aneurysm in the middle cerebral portion of my brain about 15 years ago. They immediately sent me To OHSU, and I got one of the top neurosurgeons to do my surgery and clip the aneurysm. There has been no repercussions or losses from the surgery and I am internally grateful. God is good!
we continue to pray.

@cappy51: What a wonderful career your husband has been involved in! I had a colleague who had a large portion of her tongue removed due to cancer but reconstruction had not been offered to her. That sounds like a remarkable option.

Speech & Language Pathology (SLP) will likely be intricately involved in the rehab process to help with such things as swallowing and speech for post-treatment interventions. It may take several months and perseverance but with your histories and outlook you both have the mindset to surrmount this.

When do you meet with the lead professor? If you can, please provide an update after that meeting.
