It was uncomfortable but nothing compared to having half my jaw removed and reconstructed by my fibula from my left leg, 37 radiation treatments to the head, 40+ lymph nodes removed via a neck dissection, a hole punched in my stomach for a feeding tube, neuropathy from the facial paralysis...I could go on but I think you get the point.

If it is Oral Cancer it's best to find it early so you have a better chance at survival and low morbidity rates for a better Quality of Life.

Don't worry about the small stuff...and it's all small stuff at the moment, let me know how the appointment goes and we'll go from there.
