My friend is two weeks post operation. She had a rare form of cancer in her tongue, she is in her 30s. They removed half her tongue and rebuilt it using a graft from her arm. She still has a long road. She ate her first solid food, a banana, two days ago. She lost 5kg on the liquid diet.

The good news she is 100% cancer free now!!!

She still has some radiation and immunotherapy to help prevent future problems. It has been a few emotional few months and I am just glad we have the best possible outcome. All her scars are beautiful as they mark her bravery taking this head on.

I'm so glad to hear she is all well again now! Is this the same friend you gave that lovely "hamper" too? If so, did she enjoy it?

I say "hamper" like that as I would not call all those amazing gifts a hamper. Hampers are just soaps and chocolate :roflmao:

It was a very invasive surgery. Sadly she had to spend another night in hospital this week because of some inflammation at the incision point. She is cancer free! This is great! Though she is still managing her road to full recovery both emotionally and physically :)

She has turned into a Nintendo Switch Addict! I think it was the perfect gift, it gave her some distraction when there was too much real world stress to deal with. She has logged lots of time into animal crossing and I think she has her eyes on diablo III :D
