https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/I-ve-just-been-diagnosed/Oral-cancer/m-p/36422#M2797 <P>Hi everyone. I'm booked for partial glossectomy (tongue removal) &amp; right neck dissection in 2 days &amp; I'm sooo scared! Has anyone had this cancer? What is post op recovery? Will I be able to eat &amp; talk normally again? This is my 4th cancer, all primaries, no metastasis, but this operation has me the most concerned about my quality of life afterwards.&nbsp;</P> Mon, 11 Jan 2021 16:20:43 GMT Andrea55 2021-01-11T16:20:43Z https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/I-ve-just-been-diagnosed/Oral-cancer/m-p/36422#M2797 <P>Hi everyone.
