It has been years since I posted here and unfortunately I am back. My mom had a recurrence last September that required surgery and another earlier this month. Earlier this month, a small lump appeared on the left side of her neck area and quickly grew into the size of a golf ball. This was on the opposite side of the original jaw reconstruction. Was operated on last Friday with removal of lymph nodes. Question is can she undergo more radiation/chemo considering she went through 30 and 5 sessions in 2008?
CG to mother. Diagnosed with SCC August 08. Surgery Sep 08 to remove right mandible and replace it with fibula from left leg. Also neck dissection with one pos. node. Rad/Chemo with cisplatin completed Nov 30, 2008. Passed away Dec 15, 2014
