I just learned the doctors removed half of my dad's tongue, all of his lower teeth up to and including his incisors, dissected his neck on both sides to take out the lymph nodes  and some of his inner jaw bone to make a margin of safety from tumor. All of these tested negative for tumor.  He also got a trach and had skin blood vessels, nerves  transfered from his arm to fill up the holes in his mouth. My mother says she feels encoraged. I'm thinking I will see him on Thurs.
