From your latest news, it sounds like she will be one of the very lucky people who have had a mandibulectomy that have had an easy time of it. To have that type of major surgery and not need a flap or graph makes her recovery so much easier. There wont be any second site or trach to worry about. Hoping she continues to do so well and her recovery is a speedy one. She is doing excellent!!!! Im sure you are very relieved.
