    A friend of mine had an almost identical story, infact I checked he hadn't written it!! 18month after surgery and he is doing great, skin graft is good, talking eating, tasting and other tongue functions all good. He didn't need a feed tube and despite battling a lot of tiredness initially he is now back to his first love cycling with a vengeance.
    Best of luck with everything and make sure you look after yourself emotionally and physically.

    It is not easy, I am 25 and found at 1.5 years ago at 23 that I have cancer and I felt so many emotions, hatred, anger guilt, fear, but mostly confusion and anger. You're right it isn't supposed to happen to young people and I think that was the hardest thing for me to get over is HWY ME, if you ever need to talk I am here

    Update:

    I had my 3 month post-radiation PET scan on Wednesday. Initially I was going to go over the results with my ENT in 2 weeks - ugh....really? It was his first available appointment so I prepared myself for a 2 week waiting game, hoping and praying to NOT hear from him sooner...I thought that would only mean things were not good.

    I came home from work yesterday afternoon and had a voicemail from his clinic. Crap. My heart started racing and I called them back immediately. The two minutes I was on hold was the longest two minutes I've experienced in quite a while.

    Results came back: "Good w/ no abnormal findings" Heyyyyooooo!!!

    Thank you again for all the supportive and encouraging words! :)
