GLOSSECTOMY GIRL

a girls field guide to life

as a glossectomee + laryngectomee

When I found out, in December of 2021, that I had an adenoid cystic carcinoma tumor at the base of my tongue and would need a total glossectomy and laryngectomy within weeks...well, I was shocked. terrified. horrified. 

​

It didn't take me long to start googling the heck out of what my life would look like 'after'. I have to tell you, I didn't find much. The information was scattered. Often clinical. I accidentally came across horrifying images of the procedure itself - no thanks, I'm good. I really had no idea what my life would really look like, what the lives of others might look like. I've been learning as i fumble through this new journey.

​

I hope you will find this site informative and perhaps entertaining. 

​I hope this helps our members and many others.

Wishing You The Best

Take Care, God Bless
