Soon after visiting doctors she got the diagnoses no one want to hear; tongue cancer.
"My world had shattered into a million pieces. I remember saying to the consultant: ‘I can’t have cancer, my life with my fiancé is just beginning.’
Rebecca submitted to eleven and a half hours of surgery; The team removed the right side of her tongue and replacing the appendage with skin and an artery from her left arm, right lymph nodes in her neck and two back teeth so her new tongue would fit.
After months of pain, inability to eat and depression, Rebecca seems to be coming back. Cool.
