Well, I'm in remission for nasophyrangeal cancer, but there's a small area under my tongue that the surgeon wants to take out and will use a skin graft after. Has anyone had this done? It's scheduled for Friday the 25th. Would appreciate any advice, like with pain afterward, swallowing, etc.

Why do they want to take it out? Did they biopsy it?

It was biopsied a while back (SSC)--after my 33 rad. treatments it had shrunk, but not completely.
