Welcome to OCF. Im sorry to read your story. Having to go thru this isnt easy. While trying to care for young children, its even more difficult.

My diagnosis was 6/09 and surgery was 8/09 for SCC of the jawbone. Ive had my jaw removed and a jaw made of steel put in its place. My first surgery was not successful and a second one was done a few days after. This was done in Lehigh Valley Hospital, Allentown PA. My surgery was done by my ENT along with his assistant and 2 plastic surgeons. There arent many who have had this operation. Im hoping you will hear from a few more people from around the country.

I am right there with you regarding the lack of teeth. I had mine removed in order to make dentures and then I got OC again and had to put that off. I can eat quite alot for someone who is without teeth. I eat jello, pudding, yogurt, soup, baked and mashed sweet potatoes and regular potatoes, cooked carrots, mashed baked beans, hot fudge sundaes, milkshakes, and mashed bananas. Do you have a feeding tube? Im interested in hearing if you are able to take in anything else than what I listed.

Best of luck to you.
