Support Through Tongue Cancer

A local woman shares how a network of support helped her through a tongue cancer diagnosis, and how she's now back to enjoying quality time with her family. We also learn about how tongue cancer is diagnosed, including what symptoms doctors are watching for.

Hi. I would love to talk with you about what helped you with your speech and eating.?I had the same cancer and I really want to eat and for my speech to improve. I have my husband who has been amazing through all this and we are blessed with our son who 12 years old. I have not gotten the privilege to talk with anyone who understands what I’m going through. Thank you and May God continue to bless you.🙏🏼

Hi, Glad to hear that everything is fine. I have had tongue partial glossectomy and had some lymph nodes removed too followed by six weeks of chemo-radiation which finished a month ago. I need to ask about the taste and saliva function as it is key for maintaining diet and quality of life furtherwards. Also about the diet, as normal diet is alright or some changes made according to different types of food and spice.
