I knew I had something drastially wrong but had to wait until it was confirmed by a biopsy. I hated being told it was OC and didn't even know what that meant until that day. Like the rest, I am alive and can still smile and try to act tough. LOL.. Really I am a whimp.

Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
