Hi All,
just looking for a bit of advice from someone who has been through the tongue glossectomy, reconstruction and neck disection.
How long were the recovery time and does it get better?

Hello JodRach
We've quite a number of members here who have been through surgery and treatment for different types of oral cancers and hopefully some of them will post to share their experiences with you.
In the meantime, you might find it helpful to have a look at this thread and I'd also suggest maybe posting a comment on this thread where lots of members with throat and oral cancers have posted over the years.
There's some general information available on our website and of course, if you'd like to get in touch with our nurse team you can post in the Ask the Nurses topic area, send them an email or call them on 0808 8000 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
I hope that you're able to chat with others who have experience of this surgery soon.
Best wishes,
Jenn
