The cancer returned in january, they thought they got it all, but now they have found it in my jaw (just diagnosed last thursday). they tell me i need to have a part of my lower jaw replaced. i don't have to tell anyone here how scared i am. i will be talking to my surgeon and getting a second opinion this week. can anyone tell me what i can expect? My surgeon is at johns hopkins and will probably be going to GBMC in baltimore for my second opinion. any advice?

thanks so much
Gina
