tongue cancer

Posted by earlenhaven @earlenhaven, 2 days ago

I have been diagnosed with tongue cancer. Lesions about 1 1/2' long and 1/2' deep under the left side of my tongue. I still teach for a living. How long is the shortest recovery that anyone has had?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Head & Neck Cancer Support Group.

I’m a bit different. Though the tip of my tongue was removed, enough of my mouth was changed that I cannot close my lips and, therefore, I cannot swallow. So…it’ s g-tube forever. I’ve adjusted to Kate Farms and whatever else is handy to throw in the Vita Mix. Toughest part is all my dreams are in some way about food!
