Best wishes. I had SCC on my upper right maxilla. Four associated teeth and jawbone were removed. The surgery wasn't as bad as I thought, my problems came after radiation. I was hoping not to have radiation, but my margins did not come back clean. You will be fine, and keep your Spirits and attitute high. Best wishes to a quick, non radiation needed recovery!
