hi i got home from hospital yesterday and news not so good. seem it is a large tumor that he says he has now removed. but he says he could not get the clear margins so no further surgery is hightly likely. commando surgery? he is going to remove half of my jaw on the left side and replace it with bone from somewhere else. i will also be having neck dissection. hell just writing this is making me feel sick. i havent actuallly got the pathology results im sure they will be with the doctor when i see him later this week. i have so much questions and stuff. but i am just going to have a browse through here and see what i can find. this sitre is wonderful. i can not find any inforamtion on anything in tasmania to help what so ever frown any way im ok for now thats the main thing, and the horrible pain i was having before is now not there thank god smile
