  • Amelia's Story
    2025/07/18

    In this episode of the Young Tongues Podcast, host Barbara sits down with Amelia, a fellow tongue cancer patient and mother of three, to share her powerful and deeply personal journey. Amelia's story begins in May 2024 with what seemed like a minor ulcer on her tongue—an issue initially dismissed by her dentist. Trusting her instincts, she sought a second opinion from her GP, leading to a biopsy and a life-changing diagnosis of tongue cancer.

    Amelia walks us through the whirlwind that followed: a partial glossectomy, neck dissection, and a radial forearm free flap reconstruction. She opens up about the difficult road to recovery, including the unexpected challenge of vocal cord palsy and the emotional weight of radiotherapy.

    Despite ongoing complications and the need for additional surgery, Amelia remains resilient. She speaks candidly about the strength she draws from her support system and her unwavering determination to live life to the fullest. The episode closes as she looks ahead to an upcoming procedure, facing the future with courage and hope.
