Hello to All,

I have had almost the same procedures that most of you had and my last surgery was just this past Oct 24...a 12 hr with a mandibulectomy, fibula free flap,lower left and frontal teeth removed, a second partial glossectomy (part my tongue sown to flap),thigh graft, RND,PEG. I can relate to almost everything all of you have written in one way or another. I am starting a second time of radiation and am meeting the radiologist next week and also the speech therapist...what are key questions to ask them both? I have been strong all this time and I have bounced right back up and kept fighting and taking life by the horns, but this last surgery really really has beat me down...I am scared of so many things but reading all of you does soopeoth me and give me hope...This is my first post and I hope to learn more from you and maybe i can help somebody out there as well...god bless you all!

Carla
