Some of you know that I found out on Weds that my cancer is back. This time is on the right side back on the gum gum line were the wisdom teeth go on the inside close to the tongue.

The plan is to remove the tumor and around 2 inch's of my jaw. Then rebuild the floor of my mouth and my jaw with body tissue and bone from leg. 12 hours of surgery for all of this work.

Can anyone tell who has gone through this and how did it work. I am scared with all the work that is planned. My doctor said I am very healthy and the healing time will be quick.

thank you to everyone on here, we all have daily hurdles to face and we do it.
