Hi Bill. Thanks for the update. Excellent news about clear margins and lymph nodes!!!!

Glad the operation is behind you and you are healing. Have the doctors allowed you to do any jaw exercises to avoid trismus? Thats how mine got so bad was not being able to exercise when had surgery. Hope you do not run into that.

Good that you are able to eat a little bit. Thats pretty quick so it sounds like you must be doing pretty good considering what you have gone thru.

Sorry to hear about doing rads again. Wishing you pain-free days of fast healing in the future. Please keep in touch. Your OCF pals will be here in your corner cheering you on smile
