Mum who had half her tongue removed to fight cancer gets new one made from leg

A mum who had to have half her tongue removed to fight cancer got a new one made from her leg.

Cameron Newsom was living a normal life with her husband Anthony and their son Hudson when her world was turned upside down by a freak cancer diagnosis.

From then on, Cameron started getting used to life with her new tongue which included relearning how to speak, chew, drink and swallow.
