Hi everyone. My name is Wayne, and I underwent 17 hours of surgery three and a half weeks ago to treat a squamous cell carcinoma on my lower left jaw.

They resected about 30% of my jaw, did a bone graft from my left fibula, and a free flap transplant from my left forearm.

So far recovery is better than the doctors expected, and they have not decided for certain whether there will be follow up radiotherapy or not.

I'm having a tough time with things emotionally, and I sure hope to gain a lot of insight in this forum. I'm looking forward to participating
Wayne
