hello again, on tue december 7 my day had that 10-12 hr surgery which consisted of removal of floor of mouth, more on left side, radical neck dissection and 2/3 of tongue removed.. took stomach muscle (six pack) to use over plate in lower jaw which was also removed.. they told us "clear margins"... i am a little unclear exactly what that means, can someone explain that to me in terms other than medical! haha..flap has a great pulse, and he is slowly coming along.. ENT said that the cancer had itself wrapped around the nerves under dad's tongue.. wow! he has already had the chemo/radiation..so i pray that this horrible demon will stay gone!


any words to give dad once he can understand me a bit more?
