HI, I am an ENT patient who had cancer 2 years ago.They took out a lot from the floor of my mouth and some of my jaw bone. I also had a flap ,bone taken from my leg . Mine failed, I spent a month in the hospital while they debreeded my mouth, then they put a football helmet bar on for a month to hold my bones in place then I went back in and got a bar inside and flesh was taken from my shoulder to make this work. That was a year ago and now I have an infection that will not heal so, new bar and flesh from my arm to line my mouth! So far cancer has not been my problem, reconstruction is. any advice? gnelson
