The Dr explained his proposed procedure quite clearly; He has two tumors to concentrate on, one toward the back (top)of mouth--should be pretty routine; the one in my right jaw muscle will take a little more through approach. That one is in/around the nerves in the part of the jaw muscle for chewing (I don't recall, except the nerve group started with the letter "p"). KILL THIS CANCER.....Anyway he explained the procedure, in as much detail as I could grasp, to include a new flap made from my thigh...Monday is for checking my heart, etc. then Wednesday is my surgery.......KILL THIS CANCER...
I plan on a proactive approach and attitude all the way this time around, with only one purpose and goal in mind....KILL THIS CANCER...KILL THIS CANCER....
57 YO, Dx 10/08 with oral cancer, Surgery 11/08 followed by six weeks of RT treatment with the MASK.
Follow up on 10/15/09 found a soft spot, which turned out to be SCC. Don't know if I can receive more radiation or not since I've already received full dose.
