I know everyone is different, but how long would it take for the tongue swelling to go down and the trachy to come out.

(Partial glossectomy & neck disection)

Hello Winnie

It looks like this post was missed! I hope you are doing okay. How long did it take for your tongue swelling to go down and trachy tube to come out?

Best wishes
