yes i can understand mandible reconstruct and resection, but the rest of it is way over my head. i of course do know what they are going to do. Take the fibula and make a new jaw, but what he wrote threw me.
wednesday i need to get a PET scan and thursday i need an MRA for surgery on monday.
So saturday i decided to get my hair done,have to do something for me.
thanks for taking a stab at it. Gina
