Rebel,

I remember those days in the hospital. I had half my face removed due to the size of my tumor(s) and that was after they used radiation and chemo to shrink them. It sucked. I remember how good I felt just to be able to get out of the hospital. I have a video of how I looked shortly afterwards and the size of my face was amazing. I think total it took 9 or 10 months for the swelling to totally go down and my jaw had been wired shut for 4 months.

It does get better, it can be a long road my friend but remember you have these forums to vent to whenever you need. People here to relate to where you are as they've traveled a similar path.

Keep your chin and spirits up my friend, you'll get through this.
