Angelia -
I'm so sorry you are in pain, but what a relief that it was not a cancer recurrence. Enjoy your holiday and then move on to the next phase of healing. May you be pain-free soon!

Marginal mandibulectomy 6/17/08 resulted in DX of Stage I SCC - gingiva (3 mm) right mandible, buccal side. Clear margins. Occasional social drinker. Smoked last cigarette in 1979. Clear pet: 12/08; 7/20/09. Yay!
