I just read your post and we are in the same situation . My mother is scheduled for her second surgery on Tuesday 9/23/14 . My moms cancer has recurred in the floor of her mouth. My mom has completed her radiation treatments after the first surgery in which half her jaw bone was removed. But the cancer came rite back . We really hate to see my mom go through such a brutal surgery again. We are now thinking about calling off the surgery and trying to find out if there is another kind of treatment available somewhere. I live in New Orleans La. and we are now thinking about driving to Texas at MD Anderson. We just don't know which is the way to go at this point. I cant say my moms Surgical Oncologist is not a great doctor. He did a wonderful job on her first surgery . He has informed us that surgery is the only hope at getting rid of this cancer. I am so exhausted mentally that I just don't want to make the wrong decision and the cancer gets worse
