Not yet I haven't had the jaw removed even tho they want to take the jaw, tongue, lower my stomache back to it's original location in my stomache and do the trach and feeding tube thing. They want to use my left shoulder to rebuild, Christine is one that I look up to with my thinking on doing it. She;s a tough lady for sure.


Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
