Hello Everyone,

I made it through surgery well. i was home about 3 weeks and i went back to work after presidents day. i got the pathlogy back from surgery and it was 3 millimeters. the margins were clean and my surgeon is very happy. my surgeon actually took a second biopsy because i have a spot from 2007 that didn't heal well and he was concerned it was in my jaw bone. that came back negative as well that god. is it just a matter of time before it reaches my jaw?

i am dealing with the trimus issues, i can only open my mouth 22 millimeters, but hopefully using the thereabite device will help. depression has been lingering and my doctor gave me a name of someone at johns hopkins i can talk to.

i haven't called yet, cuz i just don't know what someone can say that will stop my worrying about cancer coming back over and over again?

i am getting better everyday, i am just not sure i will ever be the same.

thanks for listening.
