The tumor is gone. The 1 cm tumor ended up being a size of a baseball. The tumor was growing behind my jaw and had spread to another gland. So they removed my submandibular and sublingual glands. I guess I don't need them after all. I didn't know I had so much room in my mouth after a softball was removed but it does feels different. I didn't have any facial paralyses that I can feel. I am having some issues of swallowing and sucking but I think that will go away as soon as the swelling goes down. I go back to the doctor Wednesday to get the biopsy report. The doctor was pretty confident that it's not cancer but they still sent off the the tumor to be tested. I am ready to back to normal. The surgery went alittle longer than it was suppose to. It was only suppose to take a hour and a half and ended up taking three hours. The anesthesia was the hardest part. I got very sick and nauseated and had problems coming out.
