Sounds like you have had a brutal time, but not unlike what many have been thru so they will certainly be able to relate to your jaw surgery.  I am glad that they were proactive about that last biopsy and were able to fasttrack you through the system - early action is the cure.
  Keep posting, many here can help you deal with side effects and other questions you might have.
