Anyone had a subtotal glossectomy? Willing to talk?
Hello! I am reaching out regarding information concerning my little brother. We are currently at the Mayo where he underwent a subtotal glossectomy with a freeflap. He has also had all lymph nodes removed from both sides of neck. Currently he has a trach along with a feeding tube. My question is,if there is anyone on here who has had a similar experience in the area and would be willing to come talk to my brother? He went into surgery thinking it was going to be a partial glossectomy but the cancer was more advanced. I would love to welcome anyone willing to give him advice and positive feedback. It would be greatly appreciated

“Sadly for some, skill as a surgeon is only exceeded by perfection of arrogance”. That would make a nice thank you note.
Well said, so unfortunate!!
