I had 3/4 of my tongue removed, double neck dissection, then 6 weeks of radiation and chemo. It was all very tolerable, but the last half of the radiation was uncomfortable. The worst part was the ropey phlegm that made it hard to sleep. The trick to not losing weight is to drink the 530 calorie Boosts that you can order on Amazon by the case. I have been drinking a case a week for the last year and still enjoy them. God bless! You got this!
