OK - David had the Maxillectomy on 1/8/09 - The bone and soft tissue results came back clean, so there will be no more surgery. Next step is radiation, if it's decided that it is necessary - they are undecided at this point.

He saw the Prosthodontist today to adjust the prosthetic - but left frustrated, because the fit is still quite uncomfortable for him.

Overall he's done really well recovering, but he's quite bummed about the way he looks and sounds post surgery. I know that is normal...

We'll find out the 27th if he needs to have Radiation or not. I'll keep posting updates smile
