UPDATE:
Today I had a follow-up to the biopsy that was taken last week. I met with the surgeon who went over the report with me. The opinion now is that my entire tongue needn’t be removed, but still the possibility of a smaller surgery to remove the portion of the tongue with the cancer. I asked if I would be unable to swallow and speak after that surgery, and he answered that the aftermath would be unpredictable. I didn’t like that answer. I suggested I continue with the immunotherapy for now and see how I respond.
I now have another appointment in 2 weeks with both the surgeon and the oncologist to discuss options. I DO NOT want surgery if I can avoid it, but will choose it over death.
Overall, I’m feeling good, and the unbearable pain I was suffering a few months ago is history. I’m feeling very optimistic.

I have 2 or 3 a day, too. Has nothing to do with my weight, though.
Cheers, Pam!

Great update @PamPurrs .
I’m really hoping for the no surgery option for you . I’m sure you’ll beat it one way or another.
@howard tip with the Guinness is a good one. I actually remember the nurses allowing my Grandpa a can a night in hospital after one of his many stays!
