Hi Daisy
I just wanted to let you know that I wear a mouth plate and have since I had surgery in Aug. My surgery was done by a head and neck oncology surgeon. The plate that was made by my prosthodontist was such a help. Because of it I didn't have to get a feeding tube and it protected the area.
I was lucky and found a Mom on the site whose son had a similar surgery 5 weeks before me. She answered so many of my questions. If I can answer any for you please ask.
Good luck
Cathy
