My Husband had all of his chemo, radiation, and neck dissection in 2004. He went through hyperbaric chamber process in January of this year for infections in his jaw. Now his jaw bone is broken in two! We are headed to MUSC to meet with surgeons Monday. Anyone been through this before? They will take bone from the fibula...

Hello and welcome to OCF. Sorry your husband has gone thru such a rough time. When you get time please update your signature so others can more easily help you. I personally do not have experience with a broken jaw. I do have many, many HBOs under my belt and credit it with healing me. Ive been thru 79 so far and a few more to go.

Several people here have had the facial reconstruction you are explaining. Best of luck with the doctor visits.
